Program Description:
The Associate in
Science degree in Business Administration is designed to parallel the
bachelor’s degree requirements at most four-year colleges and
universities. Transfer agreements between Westchester Community College
and four-year colleges in the region assure that, with careful planning,
A.S. graduates may transfer most of their credits when they enter the
same curriculum at participating four-year colleges and universities.
Graduates from Westchester Community College should complete their
bachelor’s degree within two years. For specific transfer agreement
requirements, see the Curriculum Chair.
Students in this degree program acquire an
understanding of the inter-relationship between the liberal arts/social
sciences and the management of business enterprises. The required
mathematics, science, and economics courses provide a solid grounding in
drawing the quantitative conclusions necessary for business decisions.
The professional courses—Accounting, Information Technology, Marketing
and Management—provide students with the essential requisites for a
bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
