Accounting and Business
Administration Transfer, A.S. Degree
Program Design
The Accounting and Business Administration Transfer associate degree
program is designed for students who plan to earn a bachelor’s degree in
accounting, business administration or marketing. This program provides a
broad liberal arts background consisting mostly of courses normally taken in
the first two years at a baccalaureate college or university. In addition, students
will take courses in accounting and business administration. Advanced courses
should be taken at the institution to which you transfer.
Students should be familiar with the requirements of the institutions to which
they will transfer. Therefore, we encourage selection of transfer institutions as
early as possible. Students should see an advisor before choosing elective
courses because each transfer institution may have specific requirements.
Curriculum
We recommend that students have a sound foundation in mathematics before
entering this program. Take the assessment test early to determine your level
of mathematical ability. Students must achieve at least a C or better in an
accounting course to continue on to the next level. Note: To take a business
course numbered 100 or higher, students must be eligible for ENG* 101. To
take an accounting course numbered 100 or higher, students must be eligible
for ENG* 101 and MAT* 095 or higher.
