Business Administration Transfer to Operations Management

An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from University of Delaware.

Your Path to a Bachelor's Degree

Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior.

The Connected Degree 2+2 Curriculum

Delaware Tech's Business Administration Transfer (BAT) Program provides the foundational coursework necessary for successful transfer to nationally-ranked four-year colleges of business accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) such as University of Delaware's Lerner College of Business. The BAT Program provides the high-level preparation in general education needed for upper-level coursework at these universities as well as the necessary foundation for a business education and transfer into one of these five programs: Accounting, Management, Operations Management, Sports Management or Marketing. University of Delaware's Bachelor of Science degree in Operations Management (OM) focuses on the process by which a firm produces a product or provides a service. OM majors are concerned with addressing questions such as, how much of a product should be produced? What is the most efficient way to produce that amount of product or that level of service? OM is all about the transformation of raw materials, labor and capital into final products and/or services. The OM major prepares students to be effective problem solvers by increasing their ability to analyze and interpret quantitative information that they then can use to make solid business decisions.
