GCC Business Majors (ABus-GR)

The Associate in Business General Requirements (ABus-GR) degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to Arizona's public universities into majors that articulate with the Associate in Business General Requirements pathway and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a baccalaureate program at other degree granting institutions. All business majors except Computer Information Systems should follow the ABus-GR pathway. Computer Information Systems majors should follow the Associate in Business Special Requirements (ABus-SR) pathway.

Generally, the degree transfers as a block without loss of credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements. In most cases, courses used to satisfy the MCCCD Associate in Business General Requirements will apply to university graduation requirements of the university major for which the ABus-GR was designed.

The ABus-GR degree is a transfer pathway for the following Bachelor of Science degrees in Business with the following Majors:

? Accounting ? Finance ? Economics ? Supply Chain Management ? Marketing ? Management ? Business Administration

It is also a pathway to Bachelor of Arts degrees in business and other university specific business programs.
