- While this program fulfills the SUNY Hospitality Management transfer path requirements for business and hospitality courses, it does not meet the 30 credits of General Education requirements which are normally completed in the first two years of study. The Business Administration AS program would meet all of the SUNY transfer path requirements for Hospitality Management including GEN ED requirements with the selection of HOS 193 and HOS 265 as general electives. Those students interested in transferring to a 4-year institution should seek adviement for selection of program of study and courses.
