The business administration degree from Monroe Community College is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor's degree program. This program prepares students for majors in accounting, finance, management, marketing, human resources, economics, entrepreneurship, e-business, small business management, and other business-related fields. 


The Business Administration AS from Monroe Community College includes nine credit hours of business electives and general electives. This permits the student to pursue either of two alternative courses of action: 

  1. Build a concentration in a specific business area by taking courses with the following prefixes: ACC, BUS, ECO, MAR, or
  2. Acquire up to six credit hours of non-business course work with a view toward imparting the greatest measure of transfer potential for upper-level programs elsewhere. 

Students who plan to transfer to a SUNY school should use these credits towards completion of the SUNY General Education requirements.
