Associate of Science Transfer: Business
Major Transfer Map: 90 credits
This Associate of Science Transfer (AST): Business Major Transfer Map outlines specific course requirements for students at any participating Oregon community college who plan to transfer to a participating four-year public university and earn a Bachelor of Science in Business. The AST-Business is intended for students who know they want to transfer and earn a Bachelor of Science in Business, but who are unsure of their intended transfer destination. Students should work with an advisor to ensure they plan a schedule that fulfills the requirements of the major transfer map. Students who are certain of both their major and their intended transfer destination should consult an advisor for information on an existing specific articulation agreement or degree map that will prescribe their course requirements. Note that in order for a student to successfully transfer to an Oregon public university, students must at a minimum:
- Earn a grade of a “C-” or better in courses in the major
- Take courses in the major for a grade— Oregon public universities do not accept “pass/no pass”
- Earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0
Minimum grades required for general transfer and for application to major requirements and prerequisites may vary by each Oregon public university and by each degree/major. Each major transfer map agreement will specifically list the minimum grade requirements that will guarantee transfer including minimum required grades for major courses and Pass/No Pass limitations. All schools accept a grade of a “C -” or better in all general education courses. Students should contact the admissions counselor or intake advisor at the university they intend to transfer to for more information.
Students are strongly encouraged to seek advising before their first term of college and after they have completed the 27-35 credits of the Core Transfer Map (CTM) Requirements. Students should also be aware that if they want to complete the AST-Business in two years, they should take an average of 45 credits per year, or approximately 15 credits per quarter. Finally, to earn an associate degree, students will need to successfully complete at least 90 credits.
