Business AA: Full-time

Plan of Study

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Associate of Arts degree in two years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Advising Notes

PREPATORY CLASSES
Students who need to take preparatory classes to meet the requirements of first semester courses should plan on extra time to complete the program. SLCC may waive any class in the preparatory skills if students can demonstrate equivalent skills.

It is the student’s responsibility to:

examine each course description for details of prerequisite classes.
satisfy those prerequisites before taking the designated class.

For example, a student may need to take CSIS 1010 before taking CSIS 2010, or another math course before taking MATH 1050. Students can determine the appropriate math class for their skill level by searching for Math Placement on the SLCC website.

CHOOSING PROGRAM ELECTIVES
Elective selections should be based on the requirements of the intended transfer institution. Contact your Gail Miller School of Business academic advisor for more information.

CHOOSING GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES
Recommended: Choose Gen Ed electives with the following prefixes where available–BUS, MGT, MKTG, FIN, ACCT, CSIS, HOSP.

Note, however, if you take a course for a Gen Ed elective, you may NOT count it also as a degree requirement/elective or vice versa.

See also the recommended Gen Ed electives for the Business Program.

LANGUAGE (LN)
For students without sufficient language proficiency, they must plan to take Language 1010 before taking Language (LN). See language advisor.

Students who want to earn a BA degree after transfer from SLCC are advised to take a language that the chosen school offers as upper-division courses. Not all colleges and universities offer all languages; consult with the transfer school’s language department.
