It will provide the educational background for preparing the student to fulfill the needs of business in maintaining records, finan\u0002cial controls, and preparing informational reports for management decision-making processes and for governmental requirements. Typical Positions: bookkeeper, accounting clerk, assistant auditor, financial analyst, and proprietor. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources.
