Business Administration, Associate in Science (BUAD)
Effective: Fall 2021
The Business Administration program provides students with the necessary courses to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in business. This curriculum is fully compliant with Pennsylvania Statewide Program-to-Program Articulation Agreement (TAOC) as promulgated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This Agreement assures that the BUAD student can transfer their full degree into a baccalaureate program at a participating Pennsylvania affiliated institution, transferring with full Junior class standing. (This includes all PASSHE institutions.) Transfer Students in this program may emphasize accounting, marketing or sport management, by following the guidelines below. Students enrolled in BUAD are strongly recommended to choose their transfer school as soon as a practical, then consult that institution, their BUS Division Faculty advisor or the DCCC Transfer Office to ensure that their course of study will be consistent with the requirements of their transfer institution. The Associate in Science degree is awarded at the completion of the program.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Apply knowledge of the functional areas of business to solve problems and identify opportunities.
- Use technology to produce functional work products.
