Business Administration 2.0 for Transfer

Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for a business administration degree, an emphasis or option within a business administration degree, or a degree considered similar to business administration at a participating California State University (CSU) campus.

Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree; however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation.

This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a business administration major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program.
