"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."

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.
