BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

An Associate of Science Degree in Business Administration will prepare you to pursue a bachelor's degree in a number of business related areas. Students with a specific expectation regarding where they want to complete their bachelor's degree should meet with one of the Business faculty early in their Gordon career to be sure they’re aware of specific entrance requirements to the school for which they're aiming.

Advising Notes

  • Since most four year business programs require students to take calculus (MATH 1501) at some point, we recommend that students take MATH 1111 as their Area A math class or better yet, MATH 1301 or MATH 1501. If they take MATH 1111, then we recommend MATH 1113 as their third Area D class and MATH 1501 as their Area B class.
  • Unless students have a math SAT above 500 (or equivalent ACT) we recommend that they not take Accounting before they take Math 1111 or higher; new freshmen tend to struggle in Accounting, even if they have had accounting in high school.
  • ECON 2105 and ECON 2106 must be used to satisfy Area F requirements.
  • We recommend Math 1111 or higher before students take either economics class.
  • Students who started at Gordon College before Fall, 2007, should consult their advisor regarding Area C requirements.
