The Associate in Arts in Business Administration provides options for students who want only two years of college study and students who are not certain about their degree objectives.
This degree program requires that all freshman and sophomore students take core business courses and prerequisites, as well as University core requirements, to be completed with an average grade of “C” or better.
Two-year business study at University of Bridgeport provides many advantages not usually available to community college or two-year college students.
