Business Administration

The Business Administration program is specifically designed to prepare students to transfer to those business schools that are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).  In keeping with the AACSB’s educational philosophy, this program requires a strong foundation in higher level mathematics and quantitative reasoning that underlie business administration.

 

(Note: It is recommended that students desiring a more inclusive foundation in the business disciplines with less emphasis on higher level mathematics select the Business program (on the preceding page) which is also a transfer program.)

 

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program students will be able to:

·       Prepare, analyze, interpret, and discuss an entity’s basic financial statements verbally and in writing.

·       Discuss the legal, economic, and social impact of business decisions.

·       Quantitatively evaluate the impact of business decisions, activities, and events.

·       Demonstrate an understanding of and discuss the role business has historically taken in different societal and economic systems.

 

Program Entry Requirements:

 

Students are required to take the College’s placement test at their time of admission.  Students identified as needing developmental course work must satisfactorily complete the appropriate English and mathematics courses as part of their degree program.

                                                                                                                                               

Program of Study and Graduation Requirements:

 

To qualify for the Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree in Business Administration, a student must complete a minimum of 61-credit hours as prescribed, earning a “C” or better grade in all courses and earning at least a 2.0 GPA.  Most receiving institutions require a higher grade point average.  To learn more about requirements of specific four year schools, students should contact an advisor within the Business Administration program, the career and transfer center here at CCP or the four‑year college to which they intend to transfer.
