Business Administration Transfer to Montana State University – Northern
The following program of study has been established to prepare students for transfer to Montana State University – Northern (MSU-N) with junior standing. Students who complete the following Associate of Science program of study at FVCC with a grade of “C-” or higher in every course, and are accepted into MSU-N, will be granted up to 67 semester credits toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. See your advisor for more information about this transfer articulation opportunity.
The Associate of Science (AS) degree requires 60 credits at FVCC, and the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree at Montana University System (MUS) colleges and universities requires 120 credits. FVCC students may earn as many as 75-85 credits in preparation for some transfer majors, thus reducing the number of credits required for the BS degree at MUS schools. Also, by earning the AS degree from FVCC, students will have satisfied the lower division General Education Core (see General Education Requirements for requirements) for all MUS institutions and will not be required to meet additional lower division general education core requirements upon transfer. The suggested course load in AS programs is rigorous and is recommended for only the most prepared students. A more moderate semester credit load can be achieved by taking general education core courses during summer terms or completing one or two additional semesters at FVCC before transfer.
