The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer (AS-T) prepares students to move into a curriculum at a four-year institution leading to a baccalaureate degree in Business Administration. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Completion of the AS-T degree also provides guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, although does not guarantee admission to a specific campus or major.
