I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the guide is to establish a seamless education plan for students completing the Associate in Arts with a concentration in Business at NCMC and transferring to the BS 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.

III.UPDATES
This agreement is developed using the NCMC 2017-2018 Academic Catalog, the CC 2017-2018 Academic Catalog, and the 2017 General Articulation Agreement between the two institutions. The very nature of higher education results in periodic curriculum changes. Should these changes occur to either the NCMC AA with a concentration in Business degree or the CC BS Business Administration degree, the institution with the change will notify the partner institution and a new Education Plan will be developed, if necessary.
