BUSINESS A.A.: 006
Revised effective semester: Spring 2012
This curriculum is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year college and major in general business or a more specialized field of business such as finance, accounting, international business, marketing, or management. It also provides a solid foundation for students planning to major in economics or pre-law. Completion of all requirements for this curriculum will lead to the award of the A.A. degree in business. Note: Many credits earned in the management certificate requirements may not be applied toward an A.A. in Business. Students should seek advice from a counselor.
Business students may be eligible for the Macklin Business Institute scholars program, a competitive honors program which includes seminars, special honors courses, mentoring, the possibility of an internship, and a scholarship. Students potentially interested in this program should take EC 201, EC 202, or AC 202 in the sophomore year. For more information on this program see this catalog, the Montgomery College website, or a counselor.
