How can you go wrong with a business degree?
A business education
Are you interested in positioning yourself for a better entry-level opportunity, getting your bachelor’s degree in business, or perhaps vying for a promotion in your current job? Wayne Community College’s business programs can prepare you for a rewarding career in fields ranging from accounting to office administration to business administration.
At Wayne Community College, you have the option of immediately applying what you learn in the workplace and/or transferring to another college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
The world of business
There’s a niche for practically everyone, so it’s up to you to decide which business career fits you best. If you think you might like to work for yourself, consider entrepreneurship or accounting. If your goal is to work for a large corporation, consider human resources, banking or management.
Business and you
Consider your personality and temperament, and then research which business degree track fits you. Wayne Community’s career services office has many career exploration tools to help you with this. Analytical and outgoing? Try marketing. Analytical and introverted? Maybe accounting is for you. Got a great idea and a lot of nerve? You’re the perfect entrepreneur. Calm and methodical? Perhaps you belong in human resources.
Wayne Community’s business program emphasizes strong academic rigor, leadership, critical thinking, and the applied business skills needed on the job. Students interested in transferring on for a bachelor’s degree are accepted into a variety of public and private institutions, including East Carolina University, NC State University, and the University of North Carolina.
In addition, Wayne Community offers certificate programs that provide entry-level job skills in selected fields and grant credit that can be applied toward a related WCC associate degree.

Easy Transfer
By attending Wayne Community for your first two years and then transferring to a university, you can benefit from smaller class sizes and valuable academic support systems while saving money on tuition.
It has long been a priority of Wayne Community to make transferring trouble-free by providing quality academic courses and forging partnerships with receiving universities. But the key is careful planning. Which courses will and won’t transfer depends on the destination college and the program of study you intend to pursue at that college. Students must work with an academic advisor or counselor and use the transfer guides for the destination college to ensure that their courses will transfer.
Articulation for success
Articulation agreements are formal partnerships between Wayne Community and a four-year college or university in which the transfer of a specific associate degree program, and its credits, is guaranteed to transfer into a specific bachelor’s degree at a particular four-year college.
