Program Description

The Associate of Science Transfer in Business follows Oregon State Major Transfer Maps (MTMs), which represent a streamlined path for students transferring from an Oregon community college to an Oregon university, who know which major/bachelor’s degree program they want to pursue. In contrast to other statewide transfer tools that prioritize university general education requirements (i.e. AAOT and ASOT), MTMs specify clear course-taking paths necessary for on-track progress towards a specific major/bachelor’s degree, with a guarantee of transfer from any Oregon community college to any Oregon public university. For more information see Statewide Articulation Agreement: Major Transfer Map in Business.

This degree is designed to prepare students for a career that includes the business functions of accounting, management, motivating and managing employees, communication, marketing, a leadership role, and business terminology. This degree prepares students to transfer as juniors to any Oregon State University.
