Business Administration Entrepreneurship Pathway (BAT)
NSCC’s Business Administration Transfer program prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions offering a Business baccalaureate program. This program includes a strong base of courses needed to pursue a bachelor's degree in accounting, entrepreneurial studies, finance, general business, management, management information systems, marketing, and other related business areas. Designed to parallel the first two years of course work that would be completed at most four-year institutions, a student's course load includes a balance between business and liberal arts courses. The Entrepreneurship option exposes students to topics used in entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial settings.
