Business Administration

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) in Business Admission degree is designed to provide students with the interdisciplinary preparation necessary for upper division success, and a strong foundation for entering a variety of business fields in the private and public sectors. This degree includes coursework that is essential for entry-level positions and enhances the knowledge base of students who are seeking career progression.

The courses that EVC requires for an A.A. degree in Business Administration may differ from the requirements needed for a Bachelor’s degree at some four-year colleges or universities. Therefore, it is critical that students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a Bachelor’s degree, meet with an EVC counselor to select and plan the appropriate courses to fulfill their major requirements.

Further, this degree is not primarily intended for transfer students and does not include all courses required for transfer. Students who intend to transfer should consider AS-T Business Administration 2.0.

Associate degrees require that students earn a “C” or better in all major or area of emphasis courses. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.
