Business, ASOT

The Associate of Science Oregon Transfer in Business (ASOT-Business) degree has business-focused lower-division general education requirements accepted by public universities in Oregon, and electives tailored for requirements at each intended transfer institution. Students transferring with this degree will have junior standing for registration purposes.

The ASOT-Business degree does not guarantee admission to Oregon universities, admission to a competitive business major, or junior standing in a major. Course, class standing, or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments, or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an ASOT-Business degree.

Each student is strongly encouraged to work with an academic advisor to select degree requirement courses that align with requirements at an intended transfer institution. Requirements at institutions vary, and elective choices differ depending on the intended transfer institution. Each student must contact the specific business school/program early in the first year of an ASOT-Business degree to be advised about additional requirements and procedures for admission consideration to the transfer institution and the Business school/program.

Footnotes

1 – A minimum of 8 credits of Writing is required. In the event a previous writing course was taken for 3 credits, students will need 3 courses: WR 121Z, WR 122Z and WR 123 or WR 227Z. Note: WR 227Z will meet additional requirements for some Computer Science baccalaureate programs. Contact your academic advisor for details.

2 – Any 200-level math (MTH or STAT courses) are also accepted. Students who intend to transfer to Oregon State University should work with an academic advisor prior to taking STAT 243Z. OSU requires business-specific statistics, and academic advisors can help with reverse transfer.

3 – Students who intend to transfer to Oregon State University should take CIS 101 - Computer Fundamentals. OSU accepts Lane's CIS 101 + BA 101 as equivalent to OSU's BA 101 Business Now course. CIS 101 counts toward the 12 credit limit for career-technical education (CTE) courses. See Course Types by Prefix for information about CTE course prefixes.

4 – Additional courses considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Business Department for details.

Notes

College-level courses are numbered 100 or higher. Courses numbered 001-099 identify developmental courses (e.g. RD 090), with the exception of ENG 110, 116, 117; MTH 100, RD 115, WR 110, 120 and WR 115 (taken before summer 1999), which are also considered developmental.
Foundational Skills are open to demonstration of proficiency. For information on waiver testing or credit for prior learning, contact an academic advisor. Waiver testing is not the same as placement testing.
200-level second language courses count toward the Arts and Letters requirement. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a second language.
University second language admission requirements for transfer students graduating high school 1997 or later include one of the following:
- Two terms of the same college-level second language with an average grade of C- or above.
- Two years of the same high school-level second language with an average grade of C- or above.
- Satisfactory performance on an approved second language assessment of proficiency.
- Demonstrated proficiency in American Sign Language meets second language admission requirements.
Credit-by-Exam and Credit-by-Assessment may comprise no more than 25% of total degree credits.
Only the Academic Requirements Review Committee (ARRC) may waive a college-related instruction requirement. Petitions are available online from Enrollment Services.
Repeatable courses may be used once to meet a Discipline Studies requirement. Any additional allowable repeats may be used to meet Elective requirements.
Some courses are included on more than one Discipline Studies list. These courses may be used only once to meet a specific Discipline Studies requirement. Please contact your academic advisor for details.
Lower-division college-level courses taken at Lane will not always meet the same requirements an upper-division college-level course with similar content does at a four-year transfer institution. In such cases, the course(s) in question will generally transfer as an elective. Please contact specific four-year schools for details.
General Information on transferring in credits from a prior institution.
Courses numbered 197, 198, 199, 280, 297, 298, or 299 count as electives and do not meet Foundational Skills or Discipline Studies requirements. Courses numbered 199 and 299 are experimental and may later be reviewed and approved to meet Discipline Studies requirements.
Although the ASOT-Business degree provides an excellent framework for many students pursuing a baccalaureate degree in business, it is not ideal for all students. Students should consult with an academic advisor.
