NOTES

¹ Preferred of the two options

² Students can transfer to UMass Isenberg without MTH 162, however, it is strongly recommended and at their best interest they complete it at HCC.

Students wishing to transfer to the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst must earn grades of B- or better in all ECN and ACC classes. Students with prior four-year college experience with a cumulative GPA of less than 3.0 may not be eligible for transfer to the Isenberg School.

This program qualifies for MassTransfer, which guarantees credit transfer to Massachusetts state colleges and universities. MassTransfer will also grant students automatic acceptance to certain state colleges and universities by achieving the minimum grade point average and the HCC degree (2.5 GPA required; 3.0 GPA required for UMASS Amherst).

Depending on course selection, 100% of this program can be completed online. Go to Online Learning for more information.
