Program Description
The Business Division offers opportunities to explore and to prepare for many different types of careers in business. Service organizations, wholesale and manufacturing industries, hospitals, schools, hotels, restaurants, banks and research firms all require personnel with business and management skills.
Technological changes, such as computer operations and creative financing, demand that employees have an even broader business background than only a few years ago.
The division offers courses in all facets of business: accounting; business administration; computer applications; finance (both personal and business); information systems; law; management; marketing and real estate. Students may take either individual courses or enroll in a degree or certificate program. Those who are presently employed may combine their learning and working experience by taking work experience classes in their major area of business.
Courses are offered in a variety of formats— semester, summer session, short modules and online —to accommodate student interests and commitments.
The following departments are in the Business Division:
1. Accounting Education
2. Business Administration (includes Business Law, Management and Real Estate)
3. Finance, International Business and Marketing
4. *Computer Applications and Office Management
5. *Computer Information Systems
6. *Professional Development Studies
*These Departments have separate listings in the Catalog

Planning a Program of Study
In order to plan the best possible program of study to meet individual needs, students are strongly encouraged to contact the Department Chairperson of the program in which they are interested or the counselor assigned to the Business Division. These persons are eager to assist students—and they welcome the opportunity to be helpful.
Students with limited exposure to business should consider taking other business classes, such as Introduction to Accounting (ACCT 110), Business Math (BUS 103), Introduction to Management (MGMT 101) and courses which do not fulfill lower division transfer requirements for the Business major.
Specific program requirements are outlined by each department. The Associate Degree requires completion of both department and college requirements, including general education courses.
Certificate of Completion, Skills Competency Award and Departmental Award programs of study are designed for completion in one to two years and do not require the competition of general education courses. The Certificate of Completion is awarded upon finishing a program with an average grade of "C".
Students are advised to contact the Department Chairperson of the program in which they are interested to receive information on departmental requirements. Brochures outlining requirements are available in the Counseling Center, and students are encouraged to refer to them. The counselors for the Business Division can also be contacted for current information on program requirements.
Preparation for Transfer
Students intending to transfer to another institution with the goal of earning a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Management, Accounting, Business Economics, or Business Economics (with emphasis in Accounting) are urged to satisfy their general education requirements, as well as complete lower division major core requirements in business:
ACCT 230 and 240; BLAW 101 or 110; CIS 101 and 102; ECON 101 and 102; BUS 101; and math.
Course requirements for transfer vary depending upon the college or university a student wishes to attend. Students are urged to make early contact with the Transfer Center and their intended four-year institution to secure appropriate articulation and transfer admission requirements which vary among colleges and universities.
Division Resources
Cooperative Work Experience
Students interested in credit for Work Experience should enroll in BUS 290, CIS 290, COMP 290, FIN 290 or RE 290. Structured on-the-job work experience is combined with classroom instruction to enable the student to acquire skills and aptitudes necessary to progress in one's chosen occupation. A student may enroll each semester, but evidence of new or expanded responsibilities or learning opportunities must be provided by the student and the student's work supervisor. Satisfactory completion of specific job-oriented learning objectives and class attendance are essential requirements of the program.
Computer Resources
The Business Division has four microcomputer labs that are used either as a central part of some courses or as a supplement to other courses.
Dual Enrollment
Students eligible for ninth (9th) grade or higher may concurrently enroll in up to nine (9) units of college-level courses under this program. Second-semester seniors may concurrently enroll in up to twelve (12) units. Course prerequisites apply. Refer to the Dual Enrollment section of this Catalog.
Honors & Awards
The Business Division selects one outstanding student each year in each of the six departments as Outstanding Student, plus the Outstanding Accounting Student. The selections are made by the faculty of the departments, and selections are based solely on academic excellence. No applications by students are required.
Special Courses
BUS 299 (Independent Study). Each department offers a special opportunity to do independent research under the supervision of a departmental instructor. From 1 to 4 units of credit may be earned per course to a maximum of six (6) units from Santa Barbara City College.
Seminars
The various departments, on occasion, offer short-term programs that last from one Saturday to six weeks in length. Such courses are offered in conjunction with the I.R.S. (Internal Revenue Service—Income Tax Preparation), S.C.O.R.E. (retired senior executives organization), county government and the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce.
Students are encouraged to attend and participate in these series, and unit credit is sometimes offered for these programs.
Tutorial Opportunities
Several departments offer tutorial help for certain courses. Tutors are provided for Accounting students and are available to help students five days a week. Outstanding students in Business and Accounting are selected to serve as paid tutors.
