AA/AS in Business/Commerce, General

The associate degree in business from the School of Professional Studies provides a flexible, practical grounding in business. Practitioners teach the courses, and the curriculum is aimed at career advancement across industries. Over two years students build skills in business administration, interpersonal communication, management theory and general business principles. The credit total splits evenly across liberal arts core, a program core and general electives. Admission requires a high unit diploma or GED and uses a holistic review. Details and deadlines are on the SPS admissions site. Prospective applicants should consult the full bulletin entry, which lists the required courses, a sample plan of study and the policies that apply to a given entry year, because details can change between cohorts and are best confirmed with the department directly. The entry also links to department pages and admissions guidance that go beyond what the bulletin summary covers.
