The School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences can provide a solution.  We offer a program leading to the Associate in Applied Science degree in Business Administration, which you can use to promote your career, or use towards credits for a Bachelor’s degree.

Candidates for the Associate in Applied Science degree are required to complete 64 credits. Students registered in these programs carry from 12 to 15 credits per semester. Degree requirements may be met in two regular academic years plus one Summer.

Candidates who successfully complete the associate degree program may apply for admission to the bachelor's degree program offered by the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences.

The program of study for a candidate for the Associate in Applied Science may be lengthened to the extent the student is placed in proficiency mathematics courses and the English Department Writing Program.
