Business Management (050600)
08/22/22
Business managers plan, organize, direct, and oversee the activities needed to accomplish an organization’s mission. They ensure that vital resources - people, money, equipment, information, and work processes - are used effectively and efficiently. They work in organizations of all kinds, including for-profit business, nonprofits, and public institutions.
3-5 students are projected to complete this certificate, annually, based on historical data. However, enrollment in the courses themselves is significantly higher because the courses apply to a variety of other majors and transfer requirements.
13 students earned this certificate between 2014-15 and 2018-19.
Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
Students who complete the Business program will be able to:
• Utilize common business terminology.
• Describe common business functions and practices.
• Develop business-related written materials such as letters, memoranda, case studies, reports, or other documents.

Course Report
Overview of Revisions: Remove the option for students to complete MATH 150 in order to make the certificate less than 30 units in compliance with the new CCCCO SP02 guidelines.
The Business Management CA is an existing certificate at Miramar College. It is part of the Business program, which includes a number of other degrees and certificates. The Business Management CA is being proposed for revision to remove MATH 150 from the list of restricted elective mathematics options. This is to comply with the new CCCCO mandate that no certificate may span the 30-unit mark (i.e. all certificates must be either below 30 units or 30 units or above). No actual requirements are proposed to change in the certificate. The certificate is not similar to any other certificate offered at Miramar. The proposed revision is not connected to the termination or scaling down of another program or any other change in curriculum.

Miramar College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE does not recommend developing a *new* program for these occupations because 1) there is an estimated oversupply in the region and 2) a large number of institutions train for these occupations. Colleges should also note that employers typically require a bachelor’s degree as the minimum educational requirement for these occupations. However, because this is a program modification, the COE defers to the region.
