Business Transfer Major

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is the Business Transfer program available online? 

Yes. It's offered fully online, instructor-led, on the same weekly schedule as the on-campus section. Online students have access to tutoring, advising, and all four campus locations.

How is Business Transfer different from Business Administration? 

Business Transfer is a two-year Associate of Arts built to transfer directly into a four-year business program — the sequence is designed around what receiving universities expect from an incoming junior. Business Administration is a career-entry credential (AAS or diploma) meant for going straight to work, not transferring.

What business specialties can I focus on? 

IVCCD offers specialized coursework in Accounting, Business Administrative & Information Services, Computer Applications, and Marketing, along with pathways toward related fields like sports management, banking, finance, and human resource management.

How many credit hours is the degree, and how long does it take? 

The AA is about 64 credit hours. Full-time students typically finish in two years; online students can go faster or slower depending on course load each term.

Does the online option cost more? 

The per-credit tuition rate matches on-campus, but online sections add a distance learning fee. See Tuition and Fees for current per-credit costs.

How do I get started? 

Apply through PawPass, or talk to an advisor about which four-year business program you're aiming for so your course selections line up with that school's transfer requirements.
