Office Technology

The Office Technology program at TSTC Marshall is tailored to meet the growing needs of individuals either currently working or those seeking entry-level positions in office administration. Secretaries and administrative assistants are increasingly assuming responsibilities once reserved for managerial and professional staff. Secretaries and administrative assistants usually work in schools, hospitals, corporate settings and government agencies.

We offer an Associates of Applied Science degree in Office Technology. The courses offered through the Office Technology program are designed to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to run an organization efficiently. Students learn computer software applications, communication skills (both verbal and written), and critical thinking skills. Students also become proficient in typing, presentations (both visual and verbal), office procedures, and the ability to work independently in this ever-changing world of technology.

In addition, TSTC Marshall offers an Office Technology (available after June 1, 2011) Medical Specialization certificate of completion. This certificate is designed to provide students with the specialized skills necessary to prepare them for employment in a medical office and to develop students' office skills along with specialization directed toward medical terminology, anatomy and physiology for medical assistants, and general medical office procedures.
