Office Tech - Administrative Support Emphasis

Program Availability: Chamblee, GA only.

The Associate Degree in Office Technology, with an emphasis in Administrative Support is designed to prepare the student for a career setting in which a degree, expanded skill sets, and enhanced communication skills are critical components. This program generally places the student on path to a higher level of employment than the diploma program alone.
Office Administration today is much different since the evolution of the personal computer. Word processing, accounting, and computer operating systems, when combined with keyboarding skills, prepare the graduate for advanced or supervisory positions. This program provides the essential tools for successful employment and advancement in a field that is vital to the success of most companies.

Included in this program are such popular courses as Microsoft Word, Microsoft, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Project, and more, equipping the graduate to go well beyond basic clerical/secretarial positions.

This program includes Microsoft Certification in any of the MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) components taken to satisfy graduation requirements.

As with all programs at ICT/ILS, this program includes an externship. An Externship is a program component that assigns a student to a partnering company for 135 hours, giving the student the opportunity to put his/her new skills to use and gain real-life experience.  ICT/ILS is one of the few schools that offer this as part of a student’s training in every program of study.

The Associate Degree programs are offered only at the Chamblee Campus.  However, credits earned at any ICT/ILS branch my be transferred to the Chamblee Campus in pursuit of an Associate Degree.
