NTC’s Online Management Degree Program Ranked Sixth Nationally

Northwest Technical College’s online associate’s degree program in management has been ranked among the country’s best by TheBestColleges.org.

Northwest Tech was ranked sixth on the website’s “Top 25 Online Associate in Management Programs for 2018” list.

NTC offers a 60-credit associate of applied science degree program in sales, marketing and management

The program is offered online through Distance Minnesota, a consortium which includes NTC, Bemidji State University and two other two-year college partners. Some core courses also are offered on campus. It focuses on developing decision-making, interpersonal and communication skills, problem-solving and technology and prepares graduates for management jobs such as a department manager or small business manager. All students complete a general business certificate as part of the degree.

NTC also offers an 18-credit certificate program in sales and marketing which prepares graduates for employment as a sales associate or customer service representative, and a 32-credit diploma program for marketing manager or assistant manager-type positions. Students can pursue the certificate or diploma options and later apply all earned credits toward the associate’s degree program.

Students who earn NTC’s associate’s degree can transfer directly to Mayville State University in North Dakota and apply their credits toward a bachelor of applied science degree in business administration. That program is offered online.
