Business, A.A.

Business programs at community colleges and universities include courses and majors in general business, accounting, finance, marketing, and management. The following recommendations apply to programs in all of these fields. These are suggested courses which are designed to satisfy requirements in the Associate in Arts Degree at Prairie State College and to provide the basis for transferring to a university.

II. Area of Concentration/Major Field (14)
Special note:
Courses such as Principles of Management and Principles of Marketing are considered junior-level or upper-division courses at most universities. Some universities, though, will accept these courses as elective credit (but it often will not count toward the hours you need for a major in business). Some have provisions for validating this credit. In this case, a student may be requested to take a proficiency examination, take the next course in sequence, or take a specific CLEP subject examination. Students are strongly advised to consult the information for the school of their choice before registering for these courses.
Required A.A. Degree Program Total: 62 credits
Each college and university has its own major requirements and transfer policies. Consult the schools you are considering and a PSC advisor to discuss courses and their transferability.
