I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the guide is to establish a seamless education plan for students completing the AA with an emphasis in Business at NCMC and transferring to the BA Business Administration program at Columbia College. All Columbia College courses are available online. Only grades of “C” or better will be accepted in transfer by Columbia College. Students must enroll in the Columbia College Associate to Bachelor’s program to lock in the academic catalog year and the personalized plan. NOTE: Due to possible Columbia College catalog updates, always consult with your Columbia College Associate to
Bachelors (A2B) advisor before making final course selections.
