Management Information Systems Transfer Option, Accounting and Business Administration, A.S. Degree

Program Design

The Management Information Systems program is offered as an option to the Accounting and Business Administration Transfer Program for students who would like to continue their studies at another college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree. This program requires four courses in computer information systems, as well as liberal arts and science courses that students would normally take the first two years at a baccalaureate institution. Students planning to transfer should consult a counselor or faculty advisor about their choice of electives before selecting specific courses.

You should be familiar with the requirements of the institution to which you will transfer credits. We encourage you to select your transfer college or university as early as possible. Also, you should see an advisor before choosing elective courses in this associate degree program because each institution may have specific degree requirements.
