eBusiness

Overview

The eBusiness program is under review and is not accepting new students in 2007-2008.

Upon satisfactory completion of a grade C or higher on all 60 credits students will earn Associate in Science degrees. Teamwork exercises, technical presentations, case studies, and project management scenarios are the teaching methods used. Students will gain both hands-on skills and conceptual knowledge. If students are looking for career positions in business upon graduation, this degree will get them where they want to go.

Students can take their career cues from the eBusiness communities in Honolulu and Silicon Valley who have defined the skill sets needed for KCC eBusiness graduates to enter career-track professions in the year 2004 and beyond. The promotable skill sets students will take with them when they graduate are:

• Teamwork
• Project Management
• Technical Savvy
• Communications
• Business sense
• Career development

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) frames these smart skills for students who are looking for career jobs in positions such as Assistant Project Manager, Project Coordinator, Call Center Customer Service Representative, Internet Product Associate, and many more. EBusiness graduates will help large and middle-sized companies in Hawai‘i (and elsewhere!) better understand customer behavior, manipulate customer databases, identify specific and profitable market segments, and design effective marketing strategies.

Information Technology, eBusiness, Marketing, Accounting and New Media Arts classes combined with general education define the program. Paid and unpaid internships plus community service activities will give students the opportunity to gain extracurricular experience that tests their practical promotable skills in a real-life business setting.

Testimonials

“The eBusiness program at KCC has given me the strength, confidence, encouragement, and skills I needed to be successful at my graphics/webdesign business. Through the eBusiness program I have learned important skills such as: project management, customer relationship management, teamwork, people skills, and effective communication. While I was in the eBusiness program I actively participated in hands on projects with the Cannon Club and impacted KCC campus in a positive way when I designed the first postcard mail out for registration. This program is full of limitless opportunities and truly gave a student like me a chance to shine.”
