The Associate in Applied Science in Business Administration prepares students to enter or to advance careers in the business world. The program’s concentration of business courses—Management, Information Technology, Accounting, Business Law, and Marketing—provides a strong background for employment. Cooperative Education (paid work experience in regional companies for academic credits) is a popular feature of this degree. Many students complete this degree and transfer to upper-level colleges and universities to earn a bachelor’s degree; however, students who have this objective are advised that they may suffer transfer credit losses due to the concentration of business courses, if their goal is to transfer. These students are advised to consider matriculation in the Business Administration Associate in Science A.S. degree program.
