DMACC's online Business Administration AAS Degree moved up in the national rankings this year and is now ranked as the No. 3 online business program among two-year colleges and as the best two-year program for entrepreneurship,
according to Intelligent.com, an online magazine and resource dedicated
to students. Last year, DMACC's business degree was ranked No. 6.
Intelligent.com,
based in Seattle, Washington, assessed 2,277 accredited colleges
throughout the United States for every program and curriculum that was
evaluated. DMACC was among 188 schools assessed in the category of “Best Associate's Degree in Business Administration
Program."
Each program was evaluated based on curriculum quality, graduation rate, reputation and post-graduate employment.
“We've
known that DMACC's business program offers high-quality instruction,
but this ranking demonstrates its true uniqueness and reveals that we
have one of the best online business degree offerings and the best for
entrepreneurs," said Jeanie McCarville Kerber, Acting Dean of the
DMACC School of Business and Information Technology. “Our business faculty are
dedicated to providing not only the theories behind business, but the
practical applications of accounting, management and marketing. Our
students will be successful either working or owning a business."
Each
year, more than 1,000 students are enrolled in the DMACC Business
Administration Program, which offered across all six DMACC campuses.
This year, due to COVID-19 pandemic, business classes are being offered through
virtual instruction by DMACC professors or online for
the semester.
The education service said that business careers
will remain in high demand, with employers set to hire for 750,000 jobs in business over the next seven years.
McCarville
said DMACC has also taken a number of steps to improve the online
experience, including more access to live instruction and greater
engagement in online classes.
