Statement of Purpose
The Administrative Office Assistant program prepares students for administrative office positions which require abilities in researching and compiling data, composing internal and external communications, preparing mailable documents via computer, desktop publishing, managing records electronically and manually, and utilizing managerial skills.

"The best decision that I made was choosing a major in business. I became familiar with Microsoft Office and I enjoyed every minute of it. The faculty and staff at Walters State Community College made each class special and interesting. They were helpful and caring by taking the time to make sure that each student understands what was being taught."
