Business administration programs in Arizona

27 business programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

10 schools offer these business administration programs, and Arizona has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 12 of these 27 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

General and operations managers run the daily work of an organization: they make staff schedules, assign work, see that projects get done and plan how materials and people are used. Most move up from supervisory jobs, and the BLS says top executives typically need a bachelor's degree and considerable work experience.¹

In Arizona, 24 of the 27 programs take students without a high school diploma, 2 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 27 programs here are leadership, supervision and workplace skills course (9 programs), business management certificate (7 programs), business administration (associate degree, 4 programs), retail management course (3 programs), and 4 more of 2 other kinds.

Where the Arizona business administration program numbers come from

Which Arizona business administration programs are on this list?

These are the business administration programs Arizona approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Arizona offers.

How the prices and results of Arizona business administration programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
