4. Reason for this curriculum action:
A. To consolidate and update the existing Business Careers program. The revised program consolidates
the program and course offerings, providing the three specialization areas as Certificates of Competence
rather than as distinct AAS degrees. (See B below for additional information.) This makes the program
more efficient and effective. The number of electives has been increased allowing students with different
interests to utilize the program. It also allows the deletion of courses that have not been taught for many
semesters, or have only been taught infrequently, or never taught. This will help with student program
and degree planning. Additionally, it allows the program to concentrate its limited resources to better
serve students. Separate CAR forms have been prepared for each deleted course. These courses are BUS
225, BUS 245, BUS 295, MGT 120, MKT 130, and MKT 170. Option I reflects the requirements for the
AAS degree program. (See attached program and separate CAR forms.)
B. To add to the program two new Certificates of Competence, one in Marketing and one in eMarketing. With these additions, there will be two Certificates of Competence in each of the three
specialization areas: Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Supervision. This new format provides a ladder
approach, which will be easier for the program faculty and students to understand and to utilize in
program/degree planning. It allows the variety in the program to remain while improving delivery. It
provides the opportunity to take a course or courses and receive Certificates in an area or areas of interest.
This will help community members and non-majors who are interested in a specific area(s). Separate
CAR forms have been prepared for the two new Certificates of Competence. (See attached program and
separated CAR forms.)
C. To update the Business Careers program/ UH - West Oahu articulation option to better reflect the
path students are taking toward a BABA degree completed at UHWO. The BUSCR program/degree is
presently articulated with UHWO under an extension of the previous articulation. The revision has been
reviewed by the Outreach Counselor for the University Center and the Dean of Students at UHWO and
will go through UHWO’s curriculum process to reaffirm the articulation agreement. Option II reflects the
pre-UHWO requirements. (See attached program.)

D. To modify the Business Careers program to accommodate the PROPOSED ABIT baccalaureate
degree. This modification will provide considerable overlap between the AAS Business Careers
degree/program and the first two years of the PROPOSED ABIT program/degree. This builds on the
college’s existing mission of granting Associate degrees. Option III reflects the ABIT requirements. (See
attached program.)
