Students who are interested in transferring to another college to earn their baccalaureate degree are advised to elect courses which will meet requirements at the college of their choice. Students desiring to establish a career skill which they may use directly after graduation may elect courses to prepare for accounting, management, marketing, finance/banking, general business administration, retail management and real estate. The curriculum has been designed with as much flexibility as permissible to allow elective choices in areas other than business.

Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate in business areas have two options.

First, students may complete the Business Administration Program at the Community College and transfer to the junior year at an accredited four-year college of business. Under a policy of the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education, students in a "program transfer plan" are guaranteed admission to Rhode Island College if they complete an Associate Degree in Business Administration at CCRI and maintain at least a 2.4 GPA.

Second, students who wish to transfer to an institution accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) should major in General Studies or Liberal Arts at the Community College. The University of Rhode Island is one of several institutions in New England accredited by the AACSB. The following may be taken as electives by General Studies and Liberal Arts majors for transfer to AACSB-accredited schools.

In New England, the following institutions have AACSB affiliation at the undergraduate level: Babson College; Bentley College; Boston College; Boston University; Bryant College; Clark University; University of Connecticut; Dartmouth College; Fairfield University; University of Hartford; Harvard University; University of Maine; University of Southern Maine; University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; University of New Hampshire; Northeastern University; Quinnipiac College; University of Rhode Island; Suffolk University; University of Vermont; Yale University

Contact the Advising and Counseling Center in all cases if you plan to transfer to a four-year institution.

The Department of Business Administration is nationally accredited by The Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.
