Business Administration: Transfer Associate

The Business Administration AA degree is a general transfer program for the student who plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, information systems, management, marketing, economics, business administration, or a related field.  The Business Administration AA degree program is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).  Since 1992, ACBSP is the only nationally recognized organization that grants regional accreditation to two- and four-year college and universities.  Since the requirements of senior institutions vary widely, it is essential to choose an intended transfer institution as soon as possible and carefully follow the program described in that college’s catalog.  Students who complete HACC’s Business Administration AA degree will be admitted at the Junior-level to any institution participating in Pennsylvania’s statewide college credit transfer system. The complete program is available at all of HACC's campus locations, as well as through Virtual Learning.
