Business Administration, A.S. Degree
Program Design
The Management Information Systems program is offered as an option to our
Accounting and Business Administration Transfer Program for students who
would like to continue their studies at another college or university to earn a
bachelor’s degree. This program requires four courses in computer information
systems, as well as liberal arts and science courses that students would normally
take the first two years at a baccalaureate institution. Students planning
to transfer should consult a counselor or faculty advisor about their choice of
electives before selecting specific courses.
You should be familiar with the requirements of the institution to which you will
transfer credits. We encourage you to select your transfer college or university
as early as possible. Also, you should see an advisor before choosing elective
courses in this associate degree program because each institution may have
specific degree requirements.
Curriculum
Students may enroll in this program full- or part-time. Students should have a
sound foundation in mathematics, problem solving and communication skills.
