Associate's in Business -- GR and SR ABUS-GR: Purpose of the Degree The ABus GR degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to Arizona's public universities into majors that articulate with the Associate in Business General Requirements pathway and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a baccalaureate program at other degree granting institutions. All business majors except Computer Information Systems should follow the ABus GR pathway. Computer Information Systems majors should follow the Associate in Business Special Requirements pathway. Generally, the degree transfers as a block without loss of credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements. In most cases, courses used to satisfy the MCCCD Associate in Business General Requirements will apply to university graduation requirements of the university major for which the ABus GR was designed. ABUS-SR: Purpose of the Degree The ABus SR degree is designed for Computer Information Systems majors who plan to transfer to Arizona's public universities and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a baccalaureate program at other degree granting institutions.

Communication For Professional, Academic, or Personal Development: Communication courses are available during the day, evening, and on weekends. Courses are designed to meet general education requirements for an Associate in Arts (AA) degree and/or equivalent transfer requirements for universities. Courses may also be taken for academic or personal development. Careers in Communication: Communication majors today find high rates of employment in a wide variety of fields including public relations, law, teaching, consulting, human resources, mediation, and business. A communication degree provides a person with skills highly desired in today’s economy, which include writing, listening, and public speaking; critical thinking; research; and small group collaboration. Professional positions in communication usually require a Bachelor’s or post-graduate degree. The outlook for communication majors remains high in this age of information. Communication Majors: A student may graduate with an AA Degree at Phoenix College. It is required, however, that communication majors transfer to a four-year college or university to obtain a bachelors degree in communication. Communication majors are strongly encouraged to meet with Doris Sleeper, Communication advisor at Phoenix College, in order to meet the requirement needs of your chosen four-year institution. Accurate advisement now will avoid transfer problems later. For details, contact Ms. Sleeper at 602.285.7861 in the Advisement Center.
