Bachelor of Business Administration

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.   

BBA candidates must complete an additional 24 hours of upper-division coursework offered by the School of Business. This may be done in either of the following ways: • A student may select courses from a variety of subject areas within the School of Business and receive a BBA with a major area of concentration in general business. • Alternatively, a student may select courses in a way that allows them to complete one or two of the following concentrations. Each major consists of 24 graded upper-division hours in the School of Business divided between required and elective courses.

• Accounting, Concentration
• Business Data Analytics, Concentration
• Economics, Concentration
• Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Concentration
• Finance, Concentration
• General Business, Concentration
