\title{Business Transfer Pathway}
\author{Itasca Community College}

\begin{abstract}
The Associate of Science Degree in Business Transfer Pathway is designed to provide a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for students interested in transferring on to earn a four-year degree in business, for those planning on entering the workforce, or for those starting their own business.

The Business Transfer Pathway offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Science degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated business bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities. The curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of the seven Minnesota State universities enter the university with junior-year status.

All courses in the Transfer Pathway associate degree will directly transfer and apply to the designated bachelor’s degree programs in a related field. Universities within the Minnesota State system include Bemidji State University; Metropolitan State University; Minnesota State University, Mankato; Minnesota State University Moorhead; Southwest Minnesota State University; St. Cloud State University, and Winona State University.
