Business Administration is the study of basic principles and techniques to effectively manage and lead organizations.

The **Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer 2.0** is designed for students planning to transfer to a 4-year university and major in general business or a more specialized field of business such as finance, accounting, international business, marketing, hospitality or management. The intent of the degree is to assist students in seamlessly transferring to a CSU. However, transfer requirements at four-year colleges and universities tend to vary from institution to institution; students should consult with a counselor for specific information regarding the transfer requirements of their preferred college or university.

This degree requires students to meet the following requirements:

-   Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable courses,
-   Minimum overall grade point average of 2.0,
-   Minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major, and
-   Completion of Cal-GETC.

This degree requires students to complete 60 CSU transferable units including completion of Cal-GETC and 26-29 units in the major with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Title 5 requires that students must earn a “C” (or "P") or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. There are no additional graduation requirements. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
