Courses
The curriculum of the vocational program in Bureau Management and Executive Assistantship is designed to
prepare the student to serve as a link between the decision maker/executive and the persons implementing
those decisions.
The world of business has characterized by flexibility and change. Nonetheless, fundamental skill requirements endure. Among these is the need for a high level of competence on the part of the office manager. She/he has been referred to as an "executive extender," one who must be efficient and up-to-date in office skills, a highly trained member of the office team.
The program in Bureau Management and Executive Assistantship allows the student to develop skills in computer and information
systems, computer applications, advanced word processing, office machine operation, accounting,
business behavior, economics, management, and other related subjects. A six-week on-the-job training period,
under the supervision of the department, is incorporated in the program during the summer months of the first
year to familiarize the student with the business world. Graduates of the department will be qualified bilingual
office managers in English and Turkish with experience in business correspondence in both languages
and will thus be in a position to undertake duties as responsible, respected, high-placed office managers.
