The Business Administration program is designed for the student who plans to earn a business-related baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. Eighty percent of graduates successfully transfer to four-year colleges. Direct transfer options accommodate transfer to many in-state and out-of-state institutions.

Graduates of the program demonstrate competencies in introductory courses in accounting, business law, economics, and statistics as well as other business-related courses consistent with acceptance into junior status at a four-year college.

Graduates have transferred to colleges and universities nationwide, including Rutgers University, Rider University, The College of New Jersey, Drexel University, Temple University, and New York University. The Rutgers Business School has an additional articulation agreement for MCCC Honors students.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES

• Formulate an analytical and quantitative approach to problem solving;

• Demonstrate an understanding of the role of U.S. business in a globalized society;

• Acquire effective business communication skills, including computer literacy;

• Develop the foundation necessary to continue studies in fields such as economics, finance, accounting, management, marketing, and human resources;

• Use the economic way of thinking in everyday life.

Students may study full-time or part-time. Business Administration students who cannot attend on weekdays can complete their degree requirements with evening, weekend, and MercerOnline classes offered with Mercer's Flexible Learning option.

Many core courses required for the Business Administration degree are offered on weekends, most in an accelerated eight-week format. Students can accelerate their degree completion by taking two eight-week courses instead of one 14-week course during a semester. Students attending weekend classes on an accelerated basis along with night and distance learning courses could potentially finish their Business Administration degree within the same time frame as a full-time traditional student.

Admission to the Business Administration program requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. A strong background in mathematics is very helpful.

Students interested in pursuing a Supply Chain Management or Finance major at Rider University upon graduation from MCCC should consider the Rider/MCCC Dual Admissions program and consult their academic advisor or transfer counselor upon beginning the Business Administration program for requirements unique to Rider.
