Business Focus Area

The IHCC Business focus area offers a well-balanced distribution of business and liberal arts courses, designed to prepare you for either an entry-level job in a business-related field or transfer to a four-year school. The program is divided into two major areas of emphasis: business topics and general education.

Preparation for IHCC

A strong mathematics and English background is recommended for the Business focus area.

Since the bachelor's degree requirements of various transfer institutions differ, students planning to transfer to a four-year school are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the Business program at the institution to which they plan to transfer. You should consult with an advisor at the transfer school and with an IHCC academic counselor to plan a program that meets those requirements.
