Business Pathway

If you are interested in degrees and certificates that might lead to a career in business, government or industry, or maybe you want to start your own business, the Business Pathway might be for you. Business Pathway degrees and certificates can lead to careers in management, accounting, marketing, network administration, information technology support, and office work in a variety of office environments. This pathway includes a hands-on automotive service technology degree.

As with all the pathways, you may choose to move to a different pathway at any time. If you so choose, an advisor can help you.

YVC offers Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university. Following is a list of the degrees offered by YVC: Associate in Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA), Associate in Business - Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Ready Pathway (AB-DTA/MRP), Associate in Science - Transfer Track 1 (AS-T T1), and Associate in Science - Transfer Track 2 (AS-T T2). All public and most private universities in Washington State have agreed to accept transfer students who have earned these degrees, with junior standing upon admission. Admission to a specific major is not guaranteed, but completing a transfer degree with an area of interest can better prepare a student for admission to a major program of study. Ask your YVC advisor about how to plan your associate in arts or associate in science degree around one of these areas of emphasis.
