Overview

The Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship program provides students with an understanding of theoretical and practical aspects that determine business success, such as communications, human resources, computer technology, business law and accounting. 

SUNY Adirondack blends practical business experiences with theory and teaches students how to apply these concepts in actual business situations through case studies, interactive sessions and internships.

Students taking on the two-year MM&E program will come to understand the core operations of running a business while also gaining opportunities to explore concentrations in management, marketing or entrepreneurship.

The MM&E degree and Entrepreneurial certificate prepare students to go directly into careers or business ownership in a variety of fields in public and private sectors.

Please note this is not a transfer program. Students looking to eventually transfer to a bachelor's degree program should consider our Business Administration AS degree.
