A 2.0 (C) overall grade point average must be achieved in all coursework and a 2.0 (C) or better in all Business core and specialty courses.
This program is designed to prepare students for immediate employment in the fields of accounting and business. Many of the courses listed below will transfer to a number of four-year colleges and universities. However, students who plan to transfer for a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, should follow the Business track. These students should also contact the Counseling Department and the four-year college of their choice to obtain a list of course requirements of the transfer institution.
Since the transferability of courses will vary depending on the specific four-year institution, it is strongly recommended that if students are intending to transfer to a four-year institution, they must consult with the transfer institution and with their respective KCKCC advisor before enrolling in order to determine the transferability of their courses. It is the student's responsibility to follow the transfer requirements established by his/her transfer institution.
