Degree/Certificate: Associate in Science
HEGIS Code: 5004
SUNY Code: 3822
Major Code: BA
The NCCC Approach
This associate in science program is for students who:
- Are planning to transfer to an upper-level school such as Niagara University, SUNY College at Buffalo, the University at Buffalo or the SUNY College at Brockport
- Are capable of completing courses in mathematics beyond algebra and trigonometry
- Intend to earn a bachelor’s degree or beyond
Admission
Students admitted in fall, spring and summer.
Business Administration is offered as a full-time or part-time day program, part-time evening program or online program. Because of the sequencing of courses, it may take longer than eight semesters to complete the part-time evening program or four semesters to complete the full-time day program if a student begins in a spring semester.
This program requires three years of regents-level mathematics for successful completion in four semesters of full-time study. Admission without the necessary mathematics background will require the student to complete some additional courses. In which case it may take longer than four semesters of full-time study to complete the program.
Students who want to enroll in the associate in science degree program but lack the appropriate background in mathematics may:
- Enroll in the AS degree program and complete the additional mathematics courses
- Enroll in the AAS degree program and change curriculum when the mathematics courses have been completed
- Enroll in, and complete, the AAS degree program
