Business

The Business program is designed to prepare students for transfer to four-year universities or colleges, to provide students with the foundation of business knowledge necessary to gain entry-level employment, or to upgrade their present level of employment. The Business program is recommended for students who prefer to take more courses within the business disciplines with less emphasis on higher level mathematics.

(Note: If students are planning to transfer to business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), it is recommended that students select the Business Administration program, which is specifically designed for transferring to AACSB schools.
