NOTES

  1. BUS 144 or BUS 146 are allowed for this program however BUS 146 should be taken for those intending to pursue a four-year business-related degree given BUS 146 transferability into 4-year business programs.
  2. Students who wish to register for the Disney World internship (HOS 285) shall see the Disney Coordinator as soon as possible for advisement.   
  3. While this program fulfills the SUNY Hospitality Management transfer path requirements for business and hospitality courses, it does not meet the 30 credits of General Education requirements which are normally completing in the first two years of study.  The Business Administration AS program would meet all of the SUNY transfer path requirements for Hospitality Management including GEN ED requirements with the selection of HOS 193 and HOS 265 as general electives.  Those students interested in transferring to a 4-year institution should seek advisement for selection of program of study and courses.
