Business is in demand in the region, this is an additional option to allow students to earn a certificate and stack it while working towards their degree. This certificate may be completed entirely online and includes the business core from the AS Business Administration Degree (not for transfer).
This certificate stacks into an already approved local AS degree for Business Administration. This certificate should not impact any other college. I confirmed with Annabelle Rodriguez of Cabrillo College and Guy Hanna of Hartnell to confirm that there was no perceived impact to their schools.
