The Associate of Arts degree with an emphasis in Business prepares students for transfer to colleges and universities that offer bachelor’s degrees in various areas of business. Students interested in careers in business who are planning to major in accounting, business administration, finance, international business, management, or marketing should follow the Business Field of Study curriculum. The completed Field of Study will transfer to any Texas public college or university. Upon completion of the Field of Study Curriculum, a certificate will be awarded to acknowledge completion and recognize preparedness to transition from an associate level to a baccalaureate (BA/BS) level, at any Texas public institution.
