My classes in economics, small business management, and personal finance management have taught me the importance of budgeting and planning for unfortunate situations. It is critical to have an emergency fund that can sustain your personal cost of living expenses for a minimum of six months. If you have your own business, you need to have an emergency fund that can sustain your business expenses for six to twelve months as well.

About degrees and certificates
Certificates:
A certificate readily prepares you to enter a particular field or career. It can also give you new skills for advancement in the workplace.
Associate Degrees:
An associate degree requires a broader education for career options in a range of industries. It's a great step towards earning a bachelor degree at a four-year school or entering the workforce sooner.
Associate Degrees for Transfer:
A transfer degree is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program. Earning one can guarantee admission to California State Universities, some private and online universities, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ADTs, along with a transfer agreement guarantee (TAG) with the University of California system can help you achieve your goals for less. Learn about transfer services.
