Associate in Arts - Business Transfer
Catalog 2009-2010
This curriculum is designed to provide an opportunity for the business major to achieve an Associate in Arts Degree in Business-Transfer while completing the first and second year requirements for transfer to a four-year institution. A baccalaureate degree is recommended preparation for those considering professional careers in business. Completion of this curriculum will demonstrate commitment to the field and provide comprehensive preparation for upper-division work.
Although the associate degree recognizes the completion of lower division general education requirements, it does not guarantee admission to a specific college or university nor does it guarantee admission to a specific major. Some majors and colleges or universities may require different lower division preparation and/or a higher GPA than is necessary for this associate degree.
Students who intend to transfer must meet all current transfer requirements including minimum GPA. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to discuss transfer requirements and lower division major preparation that is needed for their intended transfer school.
Note: A student may be awarded an associate degree in this major without being fully eligible for transfer.
To earn an associate degree, students must: complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a "C" grade or better and maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or better in the coursework required for the major; complete Diablo Valley College General Education Requirements; complete any elective courses to complete a minimum of 60 units; complete all graduation requirements; and complete at least 25% of all major coursework at Diablo Valley College. Certain courses may satisfy both a major and a DVC general education requirement; however, the units are only counted once.
