Program Description

Business and Office

The Business and Office program includes a basic core of courses designed to prepare a student for a variety of entry-level positions through selections of a concentration of 66-72 semester credit hours in the following areas:

Office Systems Technology
Accounting Technology
Medical Office Technology
Microcomputer Technology
Medical Billing and Coding Technology

The curriculum is designed to give each student:

a broad overview of the entire office function, not only his/her individual position.
an opportunity to investigate the integration of systems—people and technology.
an exposure to career options available within the office which involves the coordination of people, equipment, and resources as well as an opportunity to recognize the relationship between worker and supervisor.
a concentration of skills in a specific area.

Business and Office is a two-year program of study which requires courses in the career technical core, designated areas of concentration, and the academic core. The Associate of Applied Science degree is earned upon successful completion of the Business and Office curriculum. Successful completion of the first year of the Office Systems Technology program entitles a student to receive an Office Assistant certificate.

The Office Systems Technology program of study provides training in administrative office procedures, integrated computer applications, business financial systems, communication, and related technologies.

The Accounting Technology program of study prepares students for entry-level accounting positions in accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and inventory as well as enhances the skills of persons currently employed in accounting who wish to advance. The program provides a foundation for students transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a specialized degree in the field.

The Medical Office Technology program of study is designed to prepare students to work in office positions in hospitals, doctors’ offices, health clinics, insurance companies, and other health-related organizations. The student will develop skills using medical terminology, accounting, transcription, coding, and computer software applications.

The Microcomputer Technology program of study provides training in microcomputer operations in an office setting, including software configuration, troubleshooting, and systems operation.

The Medical Billing and Coding program includes a basic core of courses designed to prepare a student for entry-level employment in physician offices, hospitals, outpatient facilities, mental health clinics, nursing home facilities, and insurance companies.

Medical Billing and Coding is a two-year program of study which requires courses in the vocational-technical core, designated areas of concentration, and the academic core. The Associate of Applied Science degree is earned upon the successful completion of the Medical Billing and Coding curriculum.

The Medical Billing and Coding framework is based on the Certified Coding Associate Competency Statements and Standards of Ethical Coding published by the American Health Information Management Association. The competency statements were determined through a job analysis study of practitioners in the field. Additional research data used in the development of this publication were collected from a review of related literature and from surveys of local experts in business, industry, and education.

The curriculum complies with the National Standards for Business Education, the American Association for Medical Transcription Exam Specifications for Certified Medical Transcriptionist, and the American Health Information Management Association Certified Coding Associate Competency Statements.
