Business Course Descriptions
Option to Liberal Arts and Science, (AS.BUA)
The Business Administration curriculum is designed for the student who plans to earn a business-related baccalaureate degree at a four year college or university. The program provides the necessary preparation in the business disciplines, accounting, business law, economics, management, statistics, and other business-related courses necessary for acceptance into third year status at a four-year college.
Students should consult the catalogs of their potential future college before selecting particular courses in the program, general education, and elective courses. Some colleges have very mathematics oriented programs, but all business schools require a high level of written and oral communication skills
