Purpose

This direct transfer degree is designed for students who are majoring in Business and transferring within Washington State. Completion of this degree fulfills lower division general education requirements for completion of a bachelor’s degree and prerequisites for the Business major. Majors in Business include: accounting, management, finance, marketing, decision sciences, business administration, International Business, human resources and others.

Although this degree will be granted to SVC students completing a cumulative 2.0 GPA, entry into a baccalaureate Business program at a four-year school will require a higher GPA for admission. Admission is highly competitive and not guaranteed; it is important to perform your best in all SVC college classes. Seeking out an advisor/ counselor early in your studies is highly recommended.
