This curriculum has been adapted to allow students to explore several different subject areas. The General Studies – Business/Technology Emphasis transfer pattern has been designed specifically for students whose interests are more in the area of business and/or technology than in the liberal arts. Those who plan their course sequences with faculty advisors may prepare for either transfer or employment. Students are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
