Business General Requirements (ABUS-GR) pathway instead. Generally, the degree transfers as a block without loss of
credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements.
Special Academic Policies that Govern the ABUS-SR Degree
• The ABUS-SR does not include any MCCCD Special Requirements for Oral Communication and/or Critical Reading like
the other associate degrees. (However, some university programs have a speech requirement; consult your academic
advisor or transfer guide to verify the specifics for your program.)
• A single course can be used to satisfy multiple areas within the degree simultaneously (AGEC-B Core Area and/or
Awareness Area(s), Required Courses (Common Lower Division Requirements), and/or Restricted Electives (Business
Electives)). Credits are counted once toward the total for the degree.
Degree Requirements
The 62-71 semester credits required for the Associate in Business Special Requirements follow. The following websites
identify the courses that apply to the different General Education Core and Awareness Areas:
AGEC-B and the AGEC Matrix. Courses available for both Areas during a current or upcoming semester can also be found
using the "Find A Class" tool on each MCCCD college's website.
