Accounting
Students interested in majoring in Accounting after transfer to a four-year university should check www.assist.org for premajor requirements that may be completed at Oxnard College to prepare them for transfer. In addition, many CSU campuses have deemed the AS-T in Business Administration as similar to their Accounting majors or emphasis in Accounting, making completion of that AS-T advantageous for students.
To determine if the AS-T in Business Administration is the best preparation for Accounting majors at a particular CSU, students should check the Associate Degree for Transfer Major and Campus Search website and seek guidance from a counselor.
