(Associate of Arts Degree)
(DWD-AA-BUS)
The Business Transfer (A.A. degree) program is designed for the student who is planning to enter a business degree program at a four-year institution. The Business Transfer program combines general education classes with specific business courses to meet requirements of university business programs.
After completing an A.A. degree with a Business Transfer, a student may seek entrance into a university College of Business program. At the university, a student would pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in a particular area, such as accounting, finance, general business, marketing, or management. The Bachelor of Science Degree program prepares a student for employment within public and private industry or with a governmental agency in a professional position of business leadership. Another direction that a business student may choose is certification to teach business courses at the secondary or post secondary levels. After completion of the Bachelor’s degree, a student may seek additional degrees or certification.
Courses with a 3-character bracketed code (for example, “English Composition I [CO1]”), in which a student earns the final grade of “C” or better are guaranteed to transfer to every public Colorado college or university.
- Courses within any Degree with Designation must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher.
- Courses older than 10 years cannot count towards any Degree with Designation.
- Course substitutions and/or waivers are not permitted for any Degree with Designation.
Please view the Colorado Department of Higher Education web site for participating institutions and any additional degree requirement details (Transfer Degrees | Colorado Department of Higher Education Home). Students should contact receiving institution for course transferability or additional requirements when selecting courses.
Not all out-of-state transfer work is guaranteed to transfer to a Colorado 4-year school, even if accepted towards your degree at Aims CC, as all institutions conduct their own review of transfer courses. It is the student’s responsibility to work with the 4-year school to determine which courses will transfer. If any credits do not transfer, it could mean that more than 60 credits will be required to complete the 4-year degree.
