Business Administration Careers / General Business
English Composition I* Principles of Financial Accounting I Mathematics Elective** Introduction to Business Business Law I
The Business Administration Careers (BAC) Program has been designed to allow and encourage the acquisition of specific skills that will enable the student to enter and perform successfully in a variety of career paths within business. The student will attain focus in his or her studies by concentrating in a sequence of courses collectively referred to as an Option. There are currently five Options that exist within the Business Administration Careers Program, four of which follow specific career paths: Accounting, Marketing, Supervisory Management, and Hospitality Management. Students who are uncertain of which specific career path they wish to follow should select a fifth Option: General Business. General Business | Accounting | Hospitality Management | Marketing | Supervisory Management | Transfer The sequencing of specific course requirements within the Business Administration Careers Program allows the student whose career interests change after the first semester to switch Options or to switch into the transfer program (Business Administration Transfer) with no risk of having to make up courses. Students are encouraged to consult with advisors before choosing any Option sequence; such a choice is often not made until the end of the student’s first semester.

* ENGL101 - A student, based on testing scores, may place out of English Composition I (ENGL101) and substitute any college-level writing course in its place. This is also the case if a student placed into an equivalent to ENGL102 at another school and was not required to take the ENGL101 equivalent. Currently there are only three options for replacement: ENGL107 Technical Writing; ENGL119 Creative Writing; JOUR120 Newspaper Journalism. ** Topics in Math I (MATH121) or higher, excluding MATH127, MATH128, MATH141, and MATH142. This program awards the A.S. Degree upon completion of 20 courses and a minimum of 62 credits. Keyboarding competency is a requirement for graduation ((see p. 40).).
