Accounting/Business Management
MTI offers two options for business degrees. Both two-year options lead to the completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree. In the first year, all students take a core group of courses which prepares them to make the decision to take the Accounting emphasis or the Management emphasis their second year.

The integration of technology allows students to take courses face to face, hybrid, (online and face to face) and online. This offers a degree of flexibility that students today want.

Accounting is the “language” of business. Accountants and bookkeepers continue to be in high demand. The Accounting emphasis will provide the graduate with many business options. The Management emphasis offers broad training in key business areas that employers want such as sales, advertising, marketing, insurance, investments and supervisory management.
