Business Administration

Associate in Science Degree

The Business Administration program is designed for the student who plans to earn a business-related baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. Eighty percent of graduates successfully transfer to four-year colleges.

Graduates of the program demonstrate competencies in introductory courses in accounting, business law, economics, statistics, and other business-related courses consistent with acceptance into junior status at a four-year college.

Students may study full-time or part-time. While most courses are offered both day and evening, certain specialized courses may be offered only in the evening.

There are direct transfer options with many in-state and out-of-state four-year institutions. Graduates have transferred to colleges and universities nationwide, including University of Pennsylvania-Wharton School, Rutgers University, Seton Hall University, Rider University, The College of New Jersey, Georgetown University, and Thunderbird University.

Admission requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. A strong background in mathematics is very helpful.

Note: Electives should be selected in consultation with an academic advisor in order to assure maximum transfer of credits.
