Studies include data processing, business administration, business educa- tion, and secretarial practices. Courses have been added to provide additional skills in preparing for two- and four-year degree programs in a business career. Students study what they need, follow the degree pro- gram for our associate degree, or transfer to a four-year institution for a Bachelor ' s Degree. This year the cur- riculum has been adjusted to make our degree program parallel to those at the universities in order that transfer students will have the exact courses they will need.
