The following framework is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business education. To transfer into a baccalaureate degree program in business education as a junior, students need to complete a minimum of 60 semester credits. Students are strongly encouraged to complete an A.S. degree prior to transfer. Since admission is competitive, completion of the recommended courses does not guarantee admission.

Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland academic advisor or counselor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend.
