Río Hondo College offers two Business Administration Programs: The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer (AS-T) Degree and the Associate of Arts in Business Administration Degree.

The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer(AS-T) Degree is intended to meet the lower division requirements for business majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers a business baccalaureate degree and is a degree with a guarantee.

Get Started

For the first time in California history, community college students who complete a AS-T will be guaranteed admission to the California State University (CSU) system. With this new degree, you have the opportunity to complete two degrees (associate’s and bachelor’s) with only 120 units if you apply and are admitted into a similar degree program.

Both degree program will help students develop the analytical, communication, and critical thinking skills necessary to succeed as a business major. Business Administration prepares students for careers in accounting, finance, management, marketing, information technologies and many others.

Students should work closely with counselors to select the appropriate math courses and other lower division courses which are required by the four-year college of their choice.

At Río Hondo College, our business administration degree is the number one academic degree awarded each year. Our graduates have transferred to many public and private universities throughout the state.

I am very excited to announce that I will be attending UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business this upcoming fall of 2020. This would not be possible without the help revived at Río Hondo College. Never lose sight of your goals and make sure you always move forward no matter what. This is something that was instilled in me by Professor Miller in the mathematics department and our Dean of Business, Gita Runkle.
