Frequently Asked Questions
Can students who major in Small Business Management/Entrepreneurial Studies transfer to a four-year college or university?
Articulation agreements with public and private institutions offer students who earn the A.A.S. degree the opportunity to transfer all of their coursework to the four-year institution. Students in specialized programs, or who earn an A.A.S. degree should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
What will students learn if they study Small Business Management/Entrepreneurial Studies?
They will study the elements that are necessary for a thriving business: business plan, capital needs, marketing strategies, legal and tax issues, forms of ownership, employee management, new technologies, sales, marketing and new product development. They will acquire skills particular to entrepreneurs but transferable to the general business environment. Not all SBM courses are offered every semester both day and evening. Please call the department chair at 732.906.2594 to discuss course offerings for future semesters.
Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?
Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Students may satisfy this requirement with a grade of “C” or better in high school Algebra I. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test or by the completion of the appropriate course.
How long will it take to complete this degree?
Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions. Some major courses in the Small Business Management program may only be offered in the evenings and not every semester.

Transfer Information
Our students transfer to 4-year colleges and universities around the globe. We’ve had students transfer to every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.
The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements are being worked out with institutions granting baccalaureate degrees to facilitate the transfer process. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
Are you interested in transferring to a school in New Jersey? You can use the tools at NJTransfer.org to see which of your MCC courses will transfer to a specific college.
