In a business environment growing more complex and global, some knowledge of business and management theory is more of an asset than ever before. This business administration curriculum will prepare students to transfer to a four-year program in business and management with eventual entry into all areas of business, from manufacturing through retailing and including accounting, marketing, finance, banking, transportation, and international business. Students in this two‑year program will get the broad‑based liberal education required for the first two years of a baccalaureate program. At the same time, they will be introduced to several areas of business and management theory and practice.
