The Associate of Science – Business degree is designed to offer flexibility in selecting courses that will meet the requirements for the first two years of a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. The outline below is general in nature and is designed for use in conjunction with guidance from a business faculty advisor. Because senior institution requirements change often and without notice, students should regularly see a faculty advisor for the most current information available.

This program is designed for the student who does intend to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program.
