Technology and organizational
restructuring have led the administrative professional to assume
responsibilities once reserved for managerial and professional staff. While
the core responsibilities for the administrative professional have remained
the same, this position is now handling more managerial/supervisory duties,
such as higher level decision making, project coordination, payroll,
conflict management, Internet research and information management. The
administrative information technologies department utilizes alternative
delivery methods. Many courses are Web-enhanced or Web-delivered. Day,
evening, Saturday and once-a-week sessions are offered.
The goal is that graduates
will be able to organize work areas, use resources, make decisions and
exhibit proficiency in the use of administrative procedures and information
systems used in automated office environments; apply practical knowledge and
utilize technical skills such as keyboarding, voice recognition,
proofreading, document production, integrated computer applications, records
management, payroll, and Internet usage; demonstrate employability skills
and professionalism through sound work habits, ethics and responsibility,
and work in individual, team and group settings; communicate ideas and
information verbally and in written form; have computational skills for
solving business problems and for making analytical judgments; acquire,
organize and evaluate information for making decisions and solving problems
in business environments. |
