Business Administration

The Business Administration degrees are designed for three major purposes: to fulfill the requirements for working towards a Bachelor’s degree; to equip students with technical knowledge and skills to enter the business workforce; or to update workplace skills. Students wishing to transfer to a four-year university will pursue the Associate in Business - Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Ready Pathway (AB-DTA/MRP) degree option, those looking to gain technical knowledge and skills should pursue the AAS degree or certificate options, and those pursuing the Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Management (BASM) degree at YVC should select the Associate of Applied Science - Transfer in Business Administration (AAS-T). See your advisor to get insight on which path is the best for you, given your specific goals.
