The Business and Accounting Programs are designed to lead to immediate employment upon graduation. But many graduates choose to transfer to a senior college to complete their Bachelor's Degree. Small classes and caring faculty help students build a strong foundation and prepare them for upper level academics. Students choosing to enter the job market after earning their Associate Degree can find positions with local companies in many different areas of business including fashion, retail, accounting and financial fields. Many students are recruited directly by employers who visit the campus during job fairs. The Department of Business offers AAS degrees in Accounting, Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, Retail Merchandising (either Marketing or Fashion), and Office Administration and Technology. In addition, Business Administration majors may earn a Certificate in Entrepreneurship without taking any additional courses. Business majors typically earn half of their credits in the Business department; the other half of their credits are in Liberal Arts.

The Liberal Arts Program provides students with a solid foundation in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and language and literature, preparing them for transfer to a senior or professional college. Transfer articulation agreements between Kingsborough and many public and private senior colleges allow students to transfer almost all their credits completed at Kingsborough towards their Bachelor’s degree.
