Overview — Supervisory Management — Accelerated is part of MATC’s Management Development department. Because the program is designed for working adults, it is offered only in an Accelerated format that allows you to finish your degree in less than two and one-half years by taking classes one evening per week, or on Saturday morning, year-round. Each three-credit course is eight weeks long, three hours per night. General Studies courses must be completed in addition to the Accelerated schedule of Technical Studies courses.

This associate degree is designed for people who are currently employed in leadership and management positions, or people who aspire to move into such positions. The curriculum focuses on assisting you to develop a wide range of supervisory skills in areas including human relations, budgeting, communications, report writing, process improvement, project management, legal issues and managing for quality.
