Retail Management
This program should be completed
after a student earns a certificate in Retail Management. All major
class requirements are a part of that certificate. To earn this degree,
a student will complete additional General Education classes and
possible electives to earn a minimum total of 60 units. The program was
developed in accordance with the Western Association of Food Chains'
Retail Management Certificate Program, a program that has been fully
endorsed by the Western Association of Food Chains and its member
companies. The certificate's curriculum was developed out of a collaborative effort between several industry and
college
professionals and encompasses several business essentials,
including the "soft skills" of management and
communication required for career success in the retail industry.
Although
the program was developed by the food
retail industry, its completion will help students to acquire
necessary knowledge and skills to manage retail stores of
any kind.
