Department Mission Statement

At Roxbury Community College, our Business Degree Program is dedicated to empowering students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical framework necessary for success in the dynamic world of business. Through innovative instruction, practical experiences, and personalized support, we strive to cultivate critical thinking, leadership, and professionalism in our students. Our mission is to provide accessible, affordable, and high-quality education that prepares graduates to excel in diverse business environments, contribute to their communities, and pursue lifelong learning and career advancement.

Potential Career Path

Students acquire skills that can be applied in a wide variety of businesses in positions such as management trainee, assistant manager, administrative assistant, or sales trainee. Many graduates enhance their career outlook by transferring to a four-year school to earn a bachelor’s degree. In addition to the opportunities provided through MassTransfer, RCC graduates benefit from articulation agreements with private universities and colleges in Boston.

Transfer Opportunities

RCC’s Business Management program is designed for students who want to enter the workforce. Students may be able to transfer their business degree from RCC but will need to potentially take additional classes in their major and in their general elective requirements upon entering their college/university for their bachelor's degree.

Students interested in transferring their business degree from RCC to a four-year college/university should consider selecting Business Administration.
