The Business Administration Transfer Associate in Science degree program is designed to prepare students for transfer to bachelor’s degree programs in business. This option gives students a valuable foundation in introductory business, accounting and management coursework, as well as a broad general education core curriculum.

Career and Transfer Outlook:
Most students in this program continue their studies toward a bachelor’s degree in business on either a full or part-time basis. The transfer degree provides a solid foundation for students planning to continue on to study accounting, management, marketing, finance or management information systems.
