Each curriculum in the Credit Business Programs includes instruction in both a major field and related subjects such as business correspondence, speech, and business mathematics. Instruction in general education is included so that students may satisfy the College graduation requirements in this area.

Work Experience Training. Students enrolled in the Credit Business Programs may obtain credit for experience in their major fields by enrolling in work experience courses. Students are supervised by both employers and instructors.

Students may offer toward graduation a maximum of six semester units of credit earned in off- or on-campus work-experience courses or in any combination of both.
