System-Wide Articulation Agreement

Business Technology program course alphas and numbers have been changed beginning in Fall 2006 to be consistent with a new Articulation Agreement that covers all University of Hawaii Community Colleges. This agreement insures a seamless Business Technology curriculum throughout the entire UH system. Business Technology courses at the UH Community Colleges will have the same alphas, course numbers and course descriptions, and credits that students earn in these classes will be fully transferrable to the other campuses.

Course Cross Reference (BUS/BCIS and BUSN)

Changes from the old alphas for Business (BUS) and Business Computing Information Systems (BCIS) to the new Business Technology alpha (BUSN) may be found by clicking on the link above. The BUS alpha will continue to be used for some business classes, but the BCIS alpha has been discontinued.

Additional Program Changes

In addition to the changes required by the Articulation Agreement a few changes in course requirements and sequencing were also made. These are effective in Fall 2006.

The Business Technology Certificate of Achievement (CA) now requires BUSN157 Desktop Publishing for Business. The CA no longer requires BUSN110 Office Computer Troubleshooting & Maintenance or BUSN183 Executive Transcription.

The Business Technology Associate in Applied Science (AAS) now offers a choice between BUSN110 Office Computer Troubleshooting & Maintenance or BUSN261 Web Page Construction. This change applies to specializations in Information Processing, Legal Office, and Medical Office but not Health Unit Coordinator.

The AAS in Information Processing now offers a wider range of choices for one 3 credit elective. The student may now choose from: ACC125, BUSN110, 183, 261, 262, ICS161 or 205. This will give more flexibility to students in the last semester of the Information Processing specialty.
