Somerset, KY (July 16, 2014) - Somerset Community College (SCC) will be offering a new degree when studies resume in August. The Business Administration Systems - Informatics path of study has a goal of enabling students to expand their knowledge of information technology, preparing them to enter the marketplace with the competitive edge they will need to capture top jobs and start their careers in information-based organizations.



SCC is the first community college in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System to offer this new degree. The degree was developed in partnership with Northern Kentucky University and Western Kentucky University and both WKU and NKU are partnering with SCC for a transfer program that will allow students to complete their four year degree from either college via online course delivery or ITV courses.

According to Associate Professor of Computer Information Gary Cunningham, an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration Systems - Informatics will give graduates the technical, analytical, business and systems knowledge needed to successfully integrate computer technology into business operations and administrative tasks. These skills are becoming vitally important in business, government institutions, educational organizations, healthcare facilities and other information-based organizations.

SCC’s informatics focuses on the broad information systems aspect of business theory and practice. Students in the Business Administration Systems - Informatics program will develop skills in the following:
  • Automating business processes such as project management and workflow analysis

  • Managing information functions such as software analysis and design and databases

  • Quantitative analysis and decision making such as developing dashboards and business intelligence
