Business Administration - Montgomery College, Maryland

This curriculum is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year college and major in general business or a more specialized field of business such as finance, accounting, international business, marketing, or management. It also provides a solid foundation for students planning to major in economics or pre-law. Completion of all requirements for this curriculum will lead to the award of the A.A. degree in business.

Students potentially interested in this program should not take EC201, EC202, BA210, or AC202 until their sophomore year.
