BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION MAJORS

This guide to transfer is based on the 2012-13 articulation agreement with San Jose State University

State University campuses. Completion of these requirements guarantees you admission to San Jose
State as a Business Administration major with an emphasis in General Business. After transfer, you can
change your emphasis area following completion of one additional Math course (MATH-071).

It may be wise to begin your college education with
fewer units in your first semester or two, which will
require more time to complete your lower division
requirements. You may also need to begin your Math
sequence at a lower level, which would add an
additional semester or more.
(1)
Your starting point for Math and English is determined by your assessment tests. You may start at a higher or
lower level in these areas. It’s very important to start these sequences early, as they are the longest sequences
in this major and they will be helpful in all of your other courses.
(2)
It is strongly recommended, but not required, that you take BUS-7 before taking BUS-1A.
(3)
Not required for transfer to San Jose State, but is required for graduation from San Jose State.
Additional Requirements:
All courses in the major are required to have a grade of “C” or higher, and a cumulative GPA of 2.0
must be achieved.
When applying to San Jose State, indicate that you are obtaining the AS-T Degree in Business.
You'll receive a verification form from San Jose State that you'll need to complete, and you'll need
to document full completion of all degree requirements prior to the start of classes.
