BUSINESS: BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
(Transfer Option)

Program Description

The A.S. degree in Business: Business Administration is a program which includes core business courses and a significant number of general education courses. This program integrates the unique requirements of both two-year and four-year institutions.

The program’s primary objective is to attract from local high schools those students who are primarily interested in a career in accounting and who realize that they must ultimately transfer to a four-year institution to complete their course of study. It enables the recently graduated high school student who has expressed an interest in accounting to remain near home and experience small classes in a very personalized academic environment for the first two years of his post high school education, following which the student will proceed to a four-year institution as a junior.

Students who enroll in this program will be fully prepared to transfer to a four-year college upon graduation. They will have taken all of the prerequisites necessary to make the transfer process an easy one.

This degree is not intended to provide vocational preparation for entry into the labor force upon graduation. Therefore, all students in this program should begin planning, upon enrollment at ECC, where they intend to transfer for the last two years.
