A degree in business leads to a broad range of employment opportunities in a variety of industries such as banking, health care/biotechnology, law, entertainment, defense, computer/electronics, and education, as well as in government agencies and not-for-profit organizations.

The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer degree is designed to prepare students for CSU transfer to complete a bachelor’s degree in business administration or a major deemed similar by the CSU campus.

Students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements as this AS-T in Business Administration may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a college or university that is not part of the CSU system.

To earn an AS-T in Business Administration, students must complete the following:

1. 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU transferable units.
