Overview
Pre-business administration is an associate degree program that provides the basic curriculum needed for the first two years of a bachelor's degree in business. The program is transfer-oriented and is ideal for the student who is considering an upper-level business management career, but who wishes to pursue the first two years within a small campus atmosphere. The program is designed so students can earn an associate of arts degree and transition to the Carl H. Lindner College of Business (LCoB) at the University of Cincinnati. Graduates of this program may also transfer to other baccalaureate programs in business.
The various baccalaureate programs offered at the University of Cincinnati are designed to give students a diverse academic background with majors that include accounting, economics, finance, entrepreneurship, real estate, marketing, international business, operations management, and information systems. Students should consult the LCoB website for details about the major to which they intend to transition.
UC Blue Ash College advisors assist students in selecting majors and planning courses of study and in following transfer procedures to other colleges.
Career
Students who choose business administration as a career field will be qualified for entry-level management positions in business firms, government, and nonprofit organizations. Generally, these positions will be in accounting, finance, marketing, production, purchasing, and human resources.
