AA/AS in Business/Commerce, General

This pre-major helps students get ready to enter a bachelor-level business major elsewhere. It belongs to the General Transfer area and is a major-related program for the college's transfer degree. Students study the basics of business, including leadership, marketing and sales, economics, statistics, international business and business law. The courses fulfill requirements of the associate transfer degree and lead toward a more specialized degree, where students often choose an area such as banking, purchasing, management or personnel. Students work with advisors to plan a schedule that matches the requirements of their intended transfer school, so credits carry forward smoothly into the next stage of study.
