Career path

Career Options:

This degree provides training and education for those wishing to own or manage a small entrepreneurial venture. This degree prepares students to start their own businesses, take over an existing business, or become a key executive in a small to medium-sized company.

Advising Notes:

  • This degree can be completed using either the local AA/AS general education (GE) pattern or the Cal-GETC transfer GE pattern. See a counselor to determine which pattern is best for you based on your academic goals.
  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGL C1000/C1000H (formerly known as ENGWR 300/480).
  • Elective Courses: any elective courses numbered 100-499, or having a 4-digit number starting with C.

Scheduling Notes:

  • BUS 210, 212, and 214 are offered in a staggered 5-week format, so they can be taken in the same semester.

Other Notes:

  • Business students planning to transfer should consider the Business Administration AS-T degree. See the catalog for more information.
