The 25 Month AA Degree Transfer Program is designed for working students interested in majoring in Business Administration. Classes are offered in the evenings and Saturday mornings. The program is a transfer program to California State University, Fresno and to Fresno Pacific University with a small modification.
To be eligible for the program students must have a current application on file for the college and be eligible for English 1A and MATH 101. Students can establish eligibility by taking the placement test for Math and English and passing them with the required score or by taking lower level classes and working their way up to the required level.
A cohort of students is formed during the fall semester to begin the program during the first week in January. All classes are scheduled and reserved for the cohort, thus the student is guaranteed a seat in all classes. The Business Division does all of the registration for the 25 month program classes.
Students average taking one course per month for 25 months. Generally, all three unit lecture courses are scheduled from 5:30-10:00pm on every Tuesday and Thursday and two Saturdays per month from 8:30am until 1:00pm. Four unit classes and/or classes that have lab components require additional class hours. The additional hours are scheduled on Mondays and/or Saturdays.
