Business Administration Transfer (BAT)

2018-2019

Type: Transfer, Degree (AA)

Open Admissions

Division: Career & Tech Education & Bus



The Business Administration Transfer program prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions   offering a Business baccalaureate program.  This program includes a strong base of courses needed to pursue a bachelor's degree in accounting, entrepreneurial studies, finance, general business, management, management information systems, marketing, and other related business areas.

Designed to parallel the first two years of course work that would be completed at most four-year institutions, a student's course load includes a balance between business and liberal arts courses.  Because of this, transferring is relatively simple and our students are held in high regards by all institutions that accept our transfers.   

Graduates of this program have transferred into Business programs at a variety of colleges and universities which include but are not limited to:  Babson College, Bentley University, Boston University, Endicott College, Merrimack College, Northeastern University, Salem State University, Suffolk University, as well as the Universities of Massachusetts at Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, and Lowell.
