Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA)

The Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) is a four-year degree program that prepares the students for a career in an outcome-focused and technology rich professional environment. The curriculum is designed to equip its graduates with the professional skills and competencies to meet the dynamic and technological needs of diverse industries and global markets, whether in general business, legal, or medical offices. 

The BSOA graduates can expect a high demand of job offers for the entry level, management level, specialized transcription profession, and entrepreneurial career. Medical Transcriptionists or Healthcare Documentation Specialists are increasingly in demand in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in the country, and other countries as a result of the healthcare reform program particularly across United States, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and Asia. Furthermore, the Supreme Court of the Philippines has opened new court offices nationwide, thus Court Stenographers are needed to fill the positions in these areas. In addition to this, there is a need to address the aging population of court stenographers in the country and/or Court Reporters in other countries. The administrative professional is a vital team member of business professionals who work closely with CEOs, managers, administrators and executives. In a 2020 report of American Association of Administrative Professionals (ASAP), the administrative professionals are no longer just performing the tasks that secretaries performed, they are increasingly leading activities that further overall organizational objectives. There is also a significant shift in management roles and generational leaderships impacted by economic swings, technological advances, and global trends.
