The Associate of Science Oregon Transfer— Business (ASOT—BUS) degree is designed for students planning to transfer credits to any Oregon public university, and seek entry into that institution’s business school program. Students completing the ASOT—BUS degree will have met the lower-division general education requirements of the institution’s baccalaureate degree programs. Students transferring will have junior status for registration purposes.
