The ABus GR degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to Arizona’s public universities into majors that articulate with the Associate in Business General Requirements pathway and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a baccalaureate program at other degree granting institutions. All business majors except Accountancy and Computer Information Systems should follow the ABus GR pathway.  Accountancy majors should follow the Transfer Guide (TG-XR) pathway. Computer Information Systems majors should follow the Associate in Business Special Requirements pathway.

The degree transfers as a block without loss of credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements.  All semester credits used to satisfy the MCCCD Associate in Business General Requirements will apply to university graduation requirements of the university major for which the ABus GR was designed, regardless of whether the credit was awarded for completion of course work or for prior learning. For additional information on credit awarded for prior learning assessment, see the policy on Credit for Prior Learning in the general catalog.
