Associate in Business, DTA/MRP

The Associate in Business is a state-recognized Direct Transfer Agreement / Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) designed for students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate institution to major in business or related fields.

Graduates of this degree enter their transfer institution with junior standing, with most or all lower-division general education requirements satisfied. Students may need to complete additional coursework during their junior and senior years, depending on the requirements of the transfer institution.

As admission to schools of business is highly competitive, completion of this degree does not guarantee admission. Requirements such as minimum GPA, prerequisite courses, and application deadlines vary by institution and should be reviewed early in the planning process. Students are strongly encouraged to work with an advisor to develop an academic plan that meets both TCC degree requirements and transfer institution admissions. Students should also consult with their intended transfer institution on which courses best support or may be required as prerequisites for the institution or major.
