Associate in Business
Direct Transfer Agreement/ Major Related Program (AB-DTA/MRP)
The mission of the Associate in Business (DTA/MRP) program is to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions for their final two years of undergraduate study in a business-related field. OC has an agreement with WWU for priority consideration for admission to their Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, offered at OC’s Poulsbo Campus.
Early in the program, students should check with their intended transfer university/college advisor for specific admissions and business program requirements for course choices where options are listed for Humanities, Natural Science, Social Science, and electives.
See the Degrees and Certificates section of this catalog for course listings and other details.
The courses listed below are required for students planning to transfer to most four-year colleges and universities in the State of Washington.
A cumulative college GPA of 2.0 is required. Some transfer institutions require a higher overall GPA, a higher GPA in a subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses such as math or English. Check with your planned transfer institution for these requirements.
