    Associate of Applied Science Programs in Business Economics

    An Associate of Applied Science is an applications-driven degree usually obtained in less time than a bachelor's. It typically can be completed in two years, though taking part time classes can make the program longer.

    What is an Associate of Applied Science in Business Economics? This subject generally looks at the finances involved in running and growing a business, but can also venture into bookkeeping and auditing. Some courses may include business law, tax accounting and economic principles. If you choose to focus more heavily on the business end, then you may also take courses in public speaking and management theory.

    Some skills you may gain during this program include leadership, computational analysis and forecasting. Business degrees often feature leadership in some form, which is useful in spearheading projects and gaining promotions. Analysis and forecasting are useful for predicting market trends and advising budget committees.

    The cost of an associate's is generally less than a bachelor's, since it takes half as long to complete. The exact cost depends on the subject you choose, the institution you attend and whether you can take courses online.

    A degree in business is very flexible when it comes to job hunting. Within an organization, a business economics degree may help you find a job in administration, human resources or marketing, working as anything from an administrative assistant to an HR manager or sales director. By focusing on economics, you can open doors into accounting and other financial jobs. Other organizations also need qualified business graduates to help run the backend of their business. If you choose to continue school and shoot for a bachelor's or higher, then you could later apply for jobs as a researcher or educator.
