Business Emphasis
Associate of Arts
The associate of arts degree with an emphasis in business is
designed for students who are interested in graduating from
TMCC and pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business at a four-year
accredited institution. This degree is the result of a cooperative
effort withNSHE to allowstudents to freely transfermore business
credits than previously offered through the associate of applied
science degree. Since this emphasis is part of a 2+2 program,
students receiving this degree will be eligible for transfer to
upper division status in UNR’s College of Business. Within the
program, students will explore a wide variety of opportunities
in various business fields. The solid background in economics,
statistics, and accounting is designed to provide skills required
to pursue advanced degrees in any business major. In addition
to the completion of the AA Business emphasis, students must
also have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 to be
admitted directly into a major in UNR’s College of Business.
