Although the Associate in Science Degree for Business is primarily meant to serve as preparation for further studies in business leading to a baccalaureate degree, it does provide the student with some basic business skills as needed in many entry-level positions in such areas as insurance offices, office assistant in a medical, legal or dental office, or administrative work in manufacturing environments or information services, such as website development companies, or in travel agencies, sales organizations, media companies, and municipal governments. 

At L&C you get the chance to study up close how this vast system of business works.

You will see how they make and market their products and manage their employees, and how business entities merge and make acquisitions of each other.
