Career Opportunities

The Supervisory Management major provides training to help individuals perform successfully in most of the public and private sector in positions such as team leader, supervisor, manager, entrepreneur or event and meeting manager.

Program Delivery

Students can begin this program fall, summer, or spring semester. Day, evening, weekend and on-line courses are offered. Full- or part-time starts are available. Courses in this program are offered at DCTC's Apple Valley site.

Advanced Standing

Previous college courses, certification, licensure, and training may be considered for credit in the major. The responsibility for seeking credit rests with the student and can be initiated by completing the course SMGT2950 Prior Experiential Learning Portfolio Development (1 elective credit).

Graduation Planning

The accelerated program is available in its entirety either online or in the classroom. Courses start each month.

Most courses are offered in an accelerated format that reduces classroom time and increases outside class activities. Accelerated courses are highly interactive and are offered at consistent times to accommodate working adults.

Students graduate in as little as two years by attending part-time, one night a week, year-round. Courses are sequenced to allow graduation for the certificate programs in approximately five months.

General education courses are not included in the accelerated format and are, therefore, not included in the sequence of courses. General education courses need to be taken concurrent with the program courses in order to graduate in two years.

Some courses may be offered online. Courses may have approved substitutions. Contact the program advisor for details.

After DCTC
