Associate in Business

Spokane Community College ETPL
The Associate in Business DTA/MRP degree is a statewide articulated transfer degree agreement for business majors between the community colleges and most four–year institutions in the state of Washington. A candidate for the Associate in Business degree must complete a minimum of 90 quarter credits in academic courses numbered 100 or above with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and meet specific distribution requirements. Students are recommended to meet with a counselor to select the course options that best align with potential transfer institutions to ensure specific courses in each area satisfy admission requirements for the school and major. Students must satisfy all graduation requirements at Spokane Community College and apply to graduate. Students interested in international business programs should consult potential transfer institutions regarding the foreign language requirements. Students at SCC are allowed a maximum of five credits of foreign language in the Humanities Group A distribution area. Please refer to the Business DTA/MRP worksheet for a complete list of course options and distribution area requirements or meet with a counselor to learn more about your options and requirements. Together, you can create a plan to graduate from SCC fully prepared in your major and ready to pursue more advanced education.
