Additional AA-Business Catalog Requirements

The State-Guaranteed Colorado Community College General Education requirements and the Approved Elective Transferable courses have been incorporated into this AA degree. Completion of the degree with a "C" or higher in every course, guarantees that the student can transfer, upon admission, to any Colorado public 4-year college or university with the appropriate 60 transferable credits. Grades "C" or higher are required for all general education coursework. "D" grades for Business-Major Requirements will count for degree completion, but will not transfer. In addition, a minimum 2.0 grade point average is required for degree completion.

When choosing general education requirements and electives, it is important to contact an advisor and the college or university where you intend to transfer. You will graduate under the catalog requirements listed for the semester in which you were first enrolled. If you interrupt attendance for two consecutive semesters (excluding summer term) or more, and then return, the catalog pertaining to the semester of re-admission is the governing document. You may also choose to use the catalog that is in effect the semester you graduate. Be sure to obtain and keep a copy of the catalog governing your degree.

The Statewide Articulation Agreement for Business can be found at the Colorado Department of Higher Education website.
