Business Administration

The program leading to an Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Business Administration is designed for students planning to transfer to Oregon State University to complete a baccalaureate degree in the College of Business. It is important that students check with a business transfer curriculum advisor before enrolling in these classes. Students interested in this major are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Degree Partnership Program (DPP) as there may be lower division courses required by their chosen discipline that are only offered at Oregon State University (OSU). The College of Business at OSU is a professional school to continue with upper-division coursework. Students who complete the AS degree in Business Administration will be prepared to apply to the Professional School upon transfer. College of Business advisors from OSU are available to answer questions about this and about course selection at the OSU Partnership Office in McKenzie Hall Room 111-A. Go to linnbenton.edu/degree-partnership for a schedule.
