"Anoka Tech is a great place to learn. The Administrative Specialist program is a great program where I learned many things that help me in the work force. I took online courses but teachers were more then happy to arrange in person meetings or online meetings to help when needed."
About the Program
Students can choose to complete this program part-time. Part-time students will take longer to complete their program than students who follow the full-time sequence listed on the official program guide. Because every course may not be offered each semester, it is important for part-time students to reach out to their faculty advisors for help in planning their long-term, part-time course sequence.
If you need help picking out your first semester courses, reach out to your faculty advisor or enrollment services.
