Note that the Business Technology Program was previously named the Office Administration Technology (OAT) Program. A Spring 2006 University of Hawai‘i System Articulation Agreement facilitates matriculation of students and transfer of courses across the University system. Check the course alphas and numbers. Both the former course alpha/number/title and the new course alpha/number/title are identified.

The Business Technology program focuses on skills, attitudes, and knowledge needed to prepare students for employment in government and industry positions such as administrative assistants, information processors, receptionists, clerks, or secretaries. Courses include both business and general offerings to broaden students’ background and to enhance employment and promotion possibilities. The Associate in Applied Science Degree provides students with the flexibility to directly transfer some courses to a four-year program at campuses, including University of Hawai‘i at West O‘ahu.

A GPA of 2.0 or higher for all courses applicable toward the degree or certificates is required to meet graduation requirements.

The Business Technology program has an articulated career ladder with the University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu Business program leading to a Bachelor’s in Business Degree. KCC students completing the Associate in Applied Science Degree UH West O‘ahu Articulation Option in Business Technology have the opportunity to transfer to UH West O`ahu. Students wishing to participate in the Bachelor’s in Business program must notify their KCC academic advisor that they want to track into the UH West O‘ahu Articulation Option Associate in Applied Science Degree program.

Specialty electives enable students earning the Associate in Applied Science Degree to focus on one or more areas so they develop additional expertise in an area of potential employment.

A grade of “C” or higher in all Business Technology program courses is required for graduation.
