The Associate of Arts degree with a Business Transfer Emphasis
is designed for the student who wishes to transfer to a Colorado
four-year public college or university. Students who complete this
program, maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and earn a ‘C’
or better in all courses shall be fully considered for admission
into the business programs offered by state four-year public colleges
or universities. This agreement does not guarantee admission to
the School of Business. However, it does guarantee that admitted
students who follow the condition of this agreement will be guaranteed
complete transfer of the A.A. degree up to the maximum allowable course
credits. If a student is offered admission, the student will enter
with junior standing in the School of Business, provided that the
A.A. degree includes all courses specified below.
Students who have earned two-year degrees other than the A.A. in
Business or who have not fully completed the degree requirements
will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Individual business
courses may transfer and count toward the graduation requirements
for a four-year business degree, but the transferable courses are limited
to the course equivalents of the courses specified in the curricula
of the four-year Business Administration degree programs. The four-year
college or university will accept all eligible credits earned within
ten years of transfer. Courses earned more than 10 years earlier
will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students should review
the business degree requirements of the four-year college or university
of their interest when making plans to transfer.
This agreement is between the Colorado community colleges and the following Colorado public four-year institutions of
higher education: Adams State College, Colorado State University,
Colorado State University-Pueblo, Fort Lewis College, Mesa State
College, Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado
at Boulder, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, University
of Colorado at Denver, University of Northern Colorado and Western
State College.
