The Business Program at Butte College provides a broad, practical, and student-focused foundation in business principles that prepares learners for diverse career pathways and continued academic study. Built on a curriculum designed to meet current market demands, the program offers degrees and certificates that develop competencies in areas such as business administration, management, marketing, small business/entrepreneurship, project management, and related fields.

Students benefit from industry‑informed instruction that integrates theory with real‑world applications, equipping them with the strategic thinking, communication, teamwork, and analytical skills necessary to operate effectively in today's dynamic business environment.

The department houses multiple degree and certificate options that support both career entry and academic transfer. These include the Associate in Science (AS) and Associate in Science for Transfer (AS‑T) in Business Administration, as well as AS degrees and certificates in Business Management, Marketing, Small Business/Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Business on the Web, and other specialized business areas. These credentials cater to students seeking employment in private, public, or nonprofit sectors, as well as aspiring entrepreneurs, and those preparing for upper‑division university programs.

In addition to traditional business pathways, students can access flexible options for working professionals, including evening and online coursework that supports degree completion while balancing work and life commitments.

The Business Instructor role at Butte College offers an opportunity to contribute to a collegial and student‑centered academic environment within the Business Education Department. The successful candidate will teach a range of college‑level business courses that may include introduction to business, business law, human resources, business communications, management principles, marketing, entrepreneurship, and related topics, using multiple instructional modalities (in‑person, online, hybrid).

Assignments may include day, evening, and off‑site instruction as needed to support equitable access and student schedules. The department is committed to maintaining rigorous academic standards while adapting pedagogy to support all learners, including under‑prepared students and non‑traditional adult learners, embracing equitable teaching practices and fostering student success.

The successful candidate will collaborate with regional high schools and university partners to strengthen educational pathways into and through the Business program. This includes building and sustaining relationships, engaging in articulation efforts, participating in pathway and outreach activities, and working collaboratively with colleagues and external partners to expand access and promote student persistence, completion, and transfer in Business and related disciplines.

The successful candidate is expected to cultivate and maintain relationships with regional employers, industry professionals, and workforce agencies to ensure the Business program remains aligned with current labor‑market needs. These partnerships support student success by informing curriculum, expanding opportunities for internships and work experience, and strengthening students' pathways to employment in business, marketing, human resources, management, entrepreneurship, and related business fields.
