Associate of Arts Louisiana Transfer Degree

The Louisiana Transfer Degree program in Business provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to continue their education in pursuit of a four-year degree in business and business-related fields.

Completion of a Louisiana Transfer degree guarantees that the student has met, in full, all lower division general education requirements for all receiving Louisiana public universities. Graduates who transfer with a Louisiana Transfer degree will be assigned junior status at the receiving institution. Note that course and GPA requirements for specific majors, departments, and schools must be met independently and should be verified by the student.

Students should carefully note the Exclusionary Courses listed in the General Education Requirements section – some courses are exclusive to each other and cannot both be taken for credit (e.g., MATH 1113 and 1213).
