This
degree is perhaps one of the most practical in the Great Basin College Integrative
Curriculum. Designed specifically for students who have earned an associate degree
from any regionally accredited college, the program is particularly suited to accommodate
working adults whose schedules may be limited due to work and time constraints.
There are currently five emphases, all entailing completion of General
Requirements (PDF file*) in addition to emphasis courses. The links below provide descriptions
and specific course requirements for each emphasis:
Agriculture
Management
Digital Information Technology
Instrumentation
Management in Technology
Land Surveying/Geomatics
Meets Employer Demand
These are particularly attractive to employers of the region’s
mining industry and provide an avenue of continuing education for all persons with work experience to complete a baccalaureate degree at Great Basin College.
The program is intended to build on the students’ associate’s
degree curricula, work experience, and maturity, providing
them with communication and problem solving skills,
management and organizational theories and practice,
technical and mathematical competencies, and a broad, liberal
arts view of the world and the workplace. This training will
prepare students for employment in demanding management
positions of many career fields, if they select that emphasis.
A Collaborative Effort
Program graduates can
then pursue a Master’s in Business Administration from the
University of Nevada, Reno, which is also offered on the GBC
campus. This collaboration allows students to continue their
education from high school through the graduate level without
leaving Elko.
