APPLICATION CODE 322

For curriculum information, contact the Business and Computer Systems Division—Room DH-239—443-518-1520.

This general studies program is intended for students who are interested in exploring business, leadership, and technology disciplines within the flexibility of a general education curriculum. This transfer degree allows students to focus on related and relevant areas of business, leadership, and technology education instead of a general liberal arts perspective. Students who wish to pursue international business programs should seek advising about including two semesters of a World Language to ensure successful transfer. Students are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
