Division of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Health Sciences Overview

The primary function of the Division of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Health Sciences is to provide programs of study leading to an Associate degree and/or transferability to a university and to provide college-level occupational programs to meet the needs of students who wish to qualify for immediate employment upon graduation.

Students who do plan to pursue the baccalaureate should consult an advisor concerning degree requirements of the university to which transfer is intended. Transfer agreements exist with many university partners. Information on guides can be found on the Transfer Information section of the Del Mar College website (https://www.delmar.edu/current-students/transfer/index.html).

A Certificate of Achievement is awarded to those students completing only the major requirements of an occupational curriculum.

An Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to those students completing all courses listed in the degree curriculum of an occupational curriculum.

Enhanced Skills Certificates are available to those students completing all courses in the degree curriculum of the designated Associate Degrees and the course requirements of an Enhanced Skills Option.

Since entrance requirements for these programs may vary, prospective students should check specific entrance requirements in the departmental sections. For further information not found in this catalog, students should contact advisors in the department or counselors in the Student Enrollment Center.

Developmental courses may be required when educational background and/or test scores indicate a weakness in the basic skill subjects of English, mathematics, or reading.
