Business Administration Transfer (BT)

The Business Administration program prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions with a strong base of liberal arts courses needed to pursue a bachelor's degree in accounting, banking, finance, management, marketing, management information systems, entrepreneurial studies and other related business areas.

North Shore Community College has entered into joint admission agreements and transfer agreements with several four-year colleges. These agreements are designed to facilitate the smooth transfer of our graduates to appropriate upper-level programs. Specific information regarding existing agreements may be obtained from either faculty advisors or the Transfer Services in the Office of Admissions.

The Business Administration program also offers an Honors Program option.
