Business Management Academy

Begin Your Business Management Journey in High School

Mid-State’s Business Management Academy gives high school students the opportunity to earn a college degree before graduation.

Students in Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools and Stevens Point Area School District (grades 9–12) can complete Mid-State Technical College’s Business Management associate in applied science (AAS) degree while still in high school. Students can earn college credit by taking dual credit courses at their high school or enrolling in Start College Now courses at Mid-State. Courses count for both high school and college credit, helping students move faster toward their career goals.
