Advising Notes

This degree is designed upon completion for a student to be eligible to transfer to a public Massachusetts state university or UMASS system institution with junior status in the major of business.

Many transfer institutions for BAT require MAT151. Check your transfer institution’s program for more details.

ACC108 may be substituted with ACC101 and ACC102.

PSY102 or PSY110 may be substituted with another Social Science elective.

SPN101C may be substituted with another Humanities elective.

BUS116 may be substituted with PRO100 followed by ITR200, ACC208, or another Open Elective.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.

Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.

If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing at least 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
