University Transfer Options

Students have two paths to a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. The Associate in Arts (AA) degree will transfer to all UNC System schools, most North Carolina independent colleges and universities, and most out of state institutions. In addition, Durham Tech has several university partnerships (bilateral agreements) that allow a student who completes the Associate of Applies Science (AAS) degree to transfer to specific colleges or universities.

The Associate in Arts (AA)

The Associate in Arts (AA) is intended for students who ultimately wish to complete a baccalaureate arts degree at a four-year college or university. Students in this program develop foundational knowledge particularly business, English, fine arts, foreign languages, history, philosophy, psychology, or sociology.
