​

​

​

​
IP: Our Associate of Science aims to send students to Oregon State University at a junior level.

​
WKA: And we’ve had a very long and solid relationship with the College of Business at OSU. We have a seamless transition; our students meet with a College of Business adviser here at the Linn-Benton campus. And they can major in accounting, finance, management marketing, business information systems. There’s also an entrepreneurship program. And there’s an international business option for majors within the College of Business.

​
PH: Students may also be interested in transferring to other state schools. We have an AAOT degree.

​
WKA: And we can tailor-make that program so that you are taking the appropriate pre-business courses to go to University of Oregon or Portland State or your college of choice. So we do a really great job of getting you ready for a college or school of business.

​
IP: So I hope that on hearing this you might come and talk to us in the business faculty. And hopefully we can talk about whether business is right for you.
