The Business Education Program is designed to offer students the opportunity to develop needed skills and competencies in four major areas: General Business, Information Processing, Finance and Marketing. A wide variety of course offerings that are relevant and give our diverse student body an opportunity to acquire marketable interpersonal and consumer survival skills needed in their job and in their adult personal lives.

The objective of Business Education is to serve students in the following areas:

• occupational business programs;

• academic programs - make college experiences easier; and

• development of personal-use skills.

Most occupational pursuits require computer use. The ability to keyboard is a vital skill needed by all students. Therefore, we strongly encourage students to have basic keyboarding/computer skills as soon as possible in their high school careers.  The selection of The “Keys” to Success course will accomplish this objective. It is also highly recommended that students learn not only about the importance of finding the perfect career, but also to be able to budget and manage expenses. Career and College Planning will accomplish this objective.

The New York State Career and Technical Education (CTE) endorsement for students in Business Administration and Management is designed to recognize and validate the skills and competencies students acquire in the program. This endorsement equips students with a strong foundation in essential areas such as finance, marketing, management, and entrepreneurship.  The CTE program at Monroe-Woodbury High School fosters career readiness and encourages further education and professional development in the business sector. In turn, it helps students to stand out to employers and post-secondary institutions by showcasing their preparedness for real-world business challenges.
