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 (on the following page), which is specifically designed for transferring to AACSB schools.)

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, a student must complete a minimum of 63-credit hours as prescribed earning a 2.0 grade point average. Some transfer institutions require a higher grade point average.
