The Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer degree in Business
(AS/OT-Business) is a degree that is intended to prepare students for transfer into a
Baccalaureate business program at an OUS institution. Students who receive this
degree will have met all lower-division general education requirements of that
institution's Baccalaureate degree programs. Students transferring with this degree
will have junior standing for registration purposes. Admission to the business
school/program of any OUS institution is not guaranteed upon completion of the
AS/OT-Business degree.
It is strongly recommended that students review the list of university-specific
prerequisites and recommendations on pages 55 and contact the specific OUS
campus business school/program early in the first year of their AS/OT-Business
program at Southwestern to be advised about additional requirements and procedures
for admission consideration to the OUS institution and the business school/program
(30 of the last 45 credits must be completed at Southwestern)

with their advisor and/or the intended transfer institution. University-specific prerequisites and
recommendations are subject to change without notice. At time of admission, consult the
university catalog for binding course requirements.
Lower-division courses taken at the community college may not meet the requirements of an
upper-division course with a similar title and content offered by an Oregon University System
Business School/Program. In such cases, the courses in question will normally transfer as
electives. The AS/OT-Business degree may include up to 12 approved professional-technical
credits as electives. Courses that are developmental in nature, designed to prepare students
for college transfer courses, are not applicable to this degree.
Effective for everyone graduating from high school in 1997 or later, all OUS institutions will
require two years of high school second language for admission. This admission requirement
can also be satisfied by two quarters (or semesters) of a college-level second language or
demonstrated proficiency in a second language. If you graduated from high school in spring
1997 or later and have not completed two years of a high school second language, you
should complete at least two quarters of a second-language sequence at Southwestern. For
additional information, contact your advisor or counselor.
