Purpose
The Associate in Business Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program (BUS DTA/MRP) 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, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Business programs are competitive and may require a higher GPA overall, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses. Students are encouraged to contact their potential transfer institutions for admission requirements for both the school and the major early in their academic pursuit. Students must apply to graduate.

The suggested schedule below includes required DTA courses. Student schedule may vary based on entry point, credit load, and prerequisites. Consult with department chair or SVC counselor for scheduling options.
The two-year suggested schedule below is provided as only a guide for a traditional full-time student whose goal is the Business DTA/MRP degree. Frequent course offerings allow for individualized schedules that will ensure all student degree objectives are met.
