Associate of Arts in Business

The Associate of Arts in Business Program prepares students to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business or accounting. Business is a dynamic and customizable discipline. A business degree can open many doors to fields like accounting, marketing, finance and operations. OTC business students will gain foundational knowledge while choosing focused electives such as Principles of Insurance or Business Law. Graduates also have skills that transfer to industries outside of business like digital literacy and using practical computer applications. Each four-year institution will have specific requirements for general admission and additional requirements for acceptance into a business or accounting program. Students should contact the school they will be attending to make sure they have met all transfer requirements.
