Supervision and Management Program Offers New Degree Focuses

Jul 7, 2015

JULY 7, 2015 – FORT MYERS, FLA. – Students in Florida SouthWestern State College’s Supervision and Management bachelor degree program can now choose one of four new areas of focus: Accounting, Retail Management and Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Health Services Administration.

“Previously, students followed a general track, which focused on some aspects of each area,” said Dr. John Meyer, dean, School of Business and Technology. “Now, if they have a particular interest in one area, we can customize a plan for them through our School of Business and Technology while Health Services Administration is offered in conjunction with FSW’s School of Health Professions.”

These four areas were identified as being some of the greatest needs for local employers through Workforce Now, a regional research initiative to identify current and future talent requirements for the five counties of Southwest Florida. The initiative is designed to provide better information on workforce gaps including skills and characteristics desired by regional employers.

“FSW’s Supervision and Management degree is one of the most popular degrees we offer,” Dr. Meyer said. “The degree is convenient, accelerated, versatile, and prepares students for managerial positions in virtually any organization. A graduate of any associate in arts or associate in science program is eligible to enroll in the bachelor’s degree program and emerge with exactly those credentials employers say they want.”
