Overview
Associate of Science Transfer Business-MTM
The Business Major Transfer Map (Business MTM) is a streamlined pathway created for a student who knows they want to earn a Bachelor of Science in business disciplines. While the Business MTM may not meet all the lower division general education requirements at a student’s chosen school, students who successfully complete the courses and program GPA requirements, will transfer in with junior standing in the major. They will have the ability to work with an advisor to take smart credits: credits that are required at each public university that will count toward their Business major, a minor or general education.
