The Associate of Arts degrees entail a liberal arts-based curriculum combined with basic business courses that prepare the student to transfer to a four-year institution with the courses based on obtaining a business degree. The Associate of Applied Science degrees entail hands-on experiences and affords each student the opportunity to understand real-life experiences through internships. The Division's mission and objectives reflect the application of Lawson State's overall mission to the field of Business. The Division specializes in providing state-of-the-art, highly marketable programs. According to the Occupational Handbook, the Division of Business and Information Technologies can train individuals in more than 200 occupations. The course offerings include numerous courses which also allow persons employed in business to learn new skills or refresh existing skills. The curriculum provides students with a broad understanding of business, a competence in business computer programming, and knowledge of information technology infrastructure. Moreover, Information Technology is undergoing great changes as technology advances and the need for computer software increases. Simply providing students with skills necessary to enter the computing profession is not sufficient. Because of this, our students are given a solid theoretical foundation with knowledge of information technology infrastructure. To better assist students in meeting their classroom goals, the College has computer labs where all computer-related courses meet. The computer labs provide the student with state-of-the art computer hardware and software that aid in preparing work for all their classes. Open lab time is available for usage outside of class time as well.
