Purpose:
With the rapid development of business and industry in Virginia, there is
a great demand for qualified personnel in business administration to provide
leadership for this economic growth. The Associate of Science degree with
a major in Business Administration is designed for persons who plan to transfer
to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree
program in business administration.
Admission Requirements: General
college curricular admission
Program Notes: The following
high school units are strongly recommended: four units of English, three
units of college preparatory mathematics, and one unit of laboratory science.
This curriculum requires courses in mathematics, natural sciences, social
sciences, and health and physical education, in addition to principles of
economics and accounting, which are usually required in the first two years
of a baccalaureate business administration curriculum. With the assistance
of their advisor, students are urged to acquaint themselves with the requirements
of the major department in the institution to which transfer is contemplated.
Students are advised to complete the AS degree at the community college,
choosing courses that satisfy the mathematics, laboratory science and elective
requirements of the four-year college as well as the AS degree. If students
contemplate transferring to an out-of-state college, they should also make
contact with the four-year college and consult that college’s catalog before
deciding which courses to take.
Computer Competency Requirement:
Students in this program will meet the college’s computer competency requirement
by successfully completing
ITE 115.
Students can also meet this requirement by passing the college’s computer
competency exam, administered in the testing centers on each campus, in
which case they will receive college credit for
ITE 115.
Students not passing the computer competency exam may retake the exam only
once.
