Quality Assurance/Control Management Specialization
The global economy requires standardized specifications for manufacturing and production.
Students learn the processes that ensure that the expected levels of quality in work, component parts and production will be reached. Concepts of Six Sigma, ISO 17025, ISO 9001, lean, statistical controls and inspection are integrated throughout the curriculum.

The Associate in Applied Sciences and Certificates in Quality Assurance/Control Management are designed to provide the skills and knowledge needed to enter the job market or advance in management positions.

Formal articulation and transfer agreements have been established, allowing students to pursue a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree at specific four-year universities, including Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and the University of the Incarnate Word.

Practicum
An important component of the Management Development program is an external learning experience established in collaboration with community organizations and businesses. The practicum provides general training and experiences in the workplace. As a student in the program, you will attend a weekly seminar on the Del Mar College campus and concurrently work on marketing assignments at a worksite under supervision of the employer.
