Program Description

The Associate of Arts, AA at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the AA may select courses that satisfy both the AA degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the AA allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The AA degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses. 

The School of Professional and Graduate Studies offer curricula leading to a degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. This program is an undergraduate sequence of courses designed for working professionals. The core sequence provides students with knowledge and skills in management, leadership, finance, accounting, marketing, technology, economics, and project planning. In addition to the foundational and core coursework, students select a major in one of the following areas: Organizational Management, Project Management, Sport Management, Human Resources or Marketing. Through this sequence of courses, students develop critical thinking, problem solving, and written and oral communications skills, as well as leadership and teamwork skills. In support of the University’s mission, the program encourages the development of responsible, ethical, and socially committed graduates.
