Program Description

An Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Business Administration is designed for students who wish to complete a baccalaureate degree in such areas as Management, Accounting or Marketing. Articulation with four-year institutions of higher education enables students holding an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree to move smoothly into their program of choice or be prepared for immediate employment.
