The following relates to pages 24 & 25 of the 2000-2002 MCC catalog. The following needs to replace the present statement.
The Business Careers program provides:
1) Certificates of Competence (Cert.Co.) in Supervision, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Leadership Training, designed for students and community members who wish to acquire or upgrade their skills and knowledge.
2) A one-year Certificate of Achievement (CA) in Business Careers provides essential skills and knowledge in business, communication, writing, and mathematics.
3) A two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Business Careers. The AAS program is articulated with UH-West Oahu's BA in Business Administration (BABA), which is available in Maui County. The AAS can also provide the first two-years for the proposed BAS in Applied Business and Information Technology (ABIT).
4) Transferable courses for four-year business programs at UH-Manoa, UH-Hilo, and other colleges and universities in conjunction with the Associate of Arts degree program,.
Students planning to transfer to business programs at UH-Manoa, UH-Hilo, UH-West Oahu or other colleges and universities, or planning to continue with the proposed ABIT program at MCC, should see a counselor or the Program Coordinator about the specific requirements for entrance to the baccalaureate programs. Not all Business Careers program courses will fulfill these requirements or are transferable.
Students entering the Business Careers program need to complete the admissions requirements for the college and take the assessment and placement tests for English and Mathematics. Many courses require a specific English placement score. For a student interested in transferring to a baccalaureate program it is important that he/she start taking the appropriate Mathematics sequence immediately so that the required mathematics course(s) needed for transfer can be completed. If a student does not meet the prerequisites for the required courses the following courses are suggested as preparation: English 19 or other appropriate English course(s); appropriate Math course(s); IS 105, LSK 30 or 110; and/or computer or computer preparation course(s). The student should consult with a counselor or the Program Coordinator.

(*) Required course included: 3 credits of ENG 55 or higher with a grade of C or better; 3 credits of COMUN 145 or BUS/COMUN 130 with a grade of C or better; 3 credits of accounting with a grade of C or better; and 3 credits of BUS 155 or an appropriate higher Mathematics course.
Graduation requirements for the AAS are 60 or more required credits with a 2.0 or higher GPA with no more than 30 credits taken for CR/NC grades (*) including: the CA requirements above and 3 additional credits of English with a grade of C or better.
