How the Business, Industry, Technology, and Manufacturing Pathway Work for You
Explore business majors, manufacturing degrees, trade options, and more.
Discover business certificates and majors like entrepreneurship, business administration, economics, and digital media. Explore manufacturing and construction options in machining, fabrication, or architecture—or learn more about industries and trades like culinary arts, alternative energy, logistics and transportation. Talk with your Pathway Navigator and a career coach about your interests, strengths, and career aspirations.
Choose your path—an associate degree, certificate, or area of concentration.
Once you know your options within the Business, Industry, Manufacturing, and Construction Pathway, you can narrow your focus: choose an Associate of Arts degree, certificate program, or continuing education. Maybe you’re interested in manufacturing degrees that you can put to work right away. Maybe you’d like to explore business certificates that help you advance in your current role. Or perhaps you’d like to start your business degree here and finish your bachelor’s degree at another institution. Wherever you see yourself, our pathways are designed to help you get there.
Stay the course.
As you move through the industry, manufacturing, construction, or business degree pathways, you’ll work with a Pathway Navigator, student advisor, or career coach to help you succeed in the program. At Gulf Coast, your success is central to our mission, meaning you can take advantage of numerous helpful resources throughout your entire time here. Whether you need academic support, financial aid, or career advising, you’ll find it at GCSC.
Achieve success.
Your success doesn’t end when you complete the manufacturing, industry, construction, or business degree pathways.
