It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

An associate of arts degree in business administration with a concentration in visual communication is a specialized program crafted for students with creative interests that are looking to pursue careers in business. This introductory program is usually designed to last two years, as is the case with most associate’s degrees. As the name might suggest, this particular concentration combines business administration instruction with visually creative skills. Students are taught how to best use their creativity in design projects and business applications using the latest software, technology, and marketing trends. Opportunities to use this degree can vary across industries, but generally career options stay within a creative domain. A small business might hire an AABA visual communications grad, for example, to be an advertising specialist, designing email and direct mail marketing. Or, a website creation company might look for this degree in a graphic design assistant candidate to help oversee and execute design projects. Other career options might include communications specialists, marketing assistants, and positions within production support teams. Each of these positions will require slightly different sets of responsibilities, but they all carry similar creative themes, and they can all start at the same place: with an associate of arts degree in business administration.
