Associate in Business

The Associate in Business (A.B.) degree provides you with experience and opportunities to build proficiency and skills in management, accounting, finance and other business-related topics. The Associate in Business degree satisfies general education requirements and prerequisites required for business programs at many four–year universities in Washington.

The Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) has the same benefits of a DTA, but also prepares students to enter a specific major upon transferring.

Admission to business programs can be competitive. It is essential that you learn the admission requirements for the business program at your transfer school and consult with the Advising Office.
