Business Transfer

If your goal is to major in business at a four-year college or university, you earn an associate of arts (AA) degree at State Fair Community College, and then transfer to the school of your choice.

By completing an associate of arts degree at SFCC, you can build the strong business foundation you'll need for upper-level courses when you transfer.  At the same time, you will fulfill your general education requirements.

Business courses recommended for business transfer majors:

• macroeconomics and microeconomics
• financial and managerial accounting
• legal environment of business
• business statistics
• microcomputer applications

The prerequisite courses and the minimum GPA needed for admission to a business administration degree program will vary.  It is recommended that you consult the institution you plan to transfer to for exact requirements.
