General Business Pathway
AAS to MBA 3+1+1
The ICC General Business Pathway
The General Business Pathway provides a well-rounded program of study, and the flexibility for individual interests and career planning. Emphasis is placed on understanding business concepts and their application to solving business problems.
Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in either Business Management Technology, Construction Management, or Hospitality Management from ICC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor's degree.
Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – General Business Concentration can be completed entirely online in one year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.
This pathway can be completed all online.
