Welcome to Trocaire College's Business Department.
The A.A.S. Business Administration Program provides its successful graduates with the skills necessary for entry level employment or the ability to transfer to both local and national four-year business programs. The program has recently been updated to offer students the best possible business program. The Business Administration Program is part of the Salvatore School of Hospitality & Business - a new facility that will offer you the most up-to-date technological learning environment.
In addition, we have partnered with local organizations such as The Amherst Chamber of Commerce, The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, InfoTech Niagara, and The Buffalo Niagara Partnership to bring real-world experiences to the Business Administration Program. A fourth semester internship with a local business will provide the opportunity to apply the concepts that you have learned from your studies to real workplace situations. There is also an agreement with the Disney Corporation for internships all over the world.
The program includes 65 credit hours of coursework over two years. The course selection is a mix of core college requirements and specially selected courses in business - giving you the skills you need to succeed in the business world. Business Administration students are also invited to join the PBL division of the Future Business Leaders of America, the largest business career student organization in the world.
