The Business Management Certificate provides an overview of the fundamentals of basic management. Once completed, students will have the problem solving, strategic, and tactical skills needed to make ethical and sound management decisions. This certificate is useful for the new manager or the existing manager that needs to update skills in order to achieve business goals. There are no prerequisite skills required. Student Learning Outcomes are:
1. Students will be able to apply the tactical and strategic communication skills necessary for entry-level work in management.
2. Students will be able to apply management skills to a business problem to solve it.
Projected Student Enrollment Each Year: 31 or more
Projected Number To Complete This Certificate Each Year 1 - 10
This Certificate is a Career Technical Education (CTE) program that prepares students for entry-level work in management. The courses have been redesigned and simplified to allow for a guided pathway into the A.S. degree for General Business. This redesign benefits the students, the Business Administration Department, and Palomar College. Students benefit because they can now specialize in an area of business that excites them and obtain relevant management skills that can help them quickly get a job. The Business Administration Department benefits because it can offer "stackable" certificates resulting in a comprehensive guided pathway. Palomar College benefits from increased completions as this certificate is straightforward and quick to complete.
The Business Management Certificate will prepare students for entry-level work in management. The four courses in this Certificate of Achievement stack up to the two-year General Business degree, so students will have already met the requirements of four of the courses in the two-year General Business degree when they complete this stand-alone Certificate of Achievement.

SWC has had similar completions to Miracosta - ADT vs. non ADT. We endorse, but hope that this information is critically reviewed and shared prior to moving forward.

MiraCosta College endorses based on Nichol's explanation, however, and speaking for MiraCosta's program the only business degree that our students are pursuing and is the ATD in business. This is consistent with the COE recommendation that includes reference to the bachelor's degree being required. We have virtually no completers in our management degrees/certificates, however, the ATD in business is the second largest degree conferred at the college. Not sure whether stackable certificates in a program that requires a bachelor's degree will support career goals of students, but, will leave leave keeping students informed to Palomar.

Palomar 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 significantly high 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.

While this program is technically a new certificate, this is really more of a program modification. We are removing three competing A.S. degrees and four large-unit certificates and creating emphasis areas within the general business A.S. degree with stackable, 12-unit certificates. Additionally, the largest concern surrounding the LMI is the large supply within the region. While it looks like Palomar is adding to the supply, we are removing seven programs. The strategic rationale for this program is to: 1) simplify offerings 2) require fewer credits for completion 3) create stackable certificates within the A.S. degree 4) update curriculum where appropriate
