The Associate of Arts in Business is pursued by students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university with the goal of completing a bachelor’s degree in business. The Associate of Arts in Business is intended to provide students with the courses that typically comprise the first two years of a four-year degree in business. This degree includes courses that meet general education requirements and courses in accounting, business communication, business law, economics, marketing and management that are foundational business courses.
