Associate of Science
The Associate of Science in Business is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and provides a course of study for students who intend to transfer to four-year colleges or universities as Business majors. It is vital that students follow the curriculum specifically designed for their intended four-year transfer college (LSU, FranU, SELU, SU, etc.) in order to maximize course transferability. Students transferring to an institution with which BRCC does not have an explicit 2+2 agreement should always check the admission requirements of that institution and verify their individual status/coursework for the program in which they intend to enroll.
