The Business Program at Trinidad State is designed to offer two options for students. The Transfer Ready Path allows students to complete the lower-division (freshman and sophomore) portion of a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree prior to moving on to a university, and the Career Ready Path offers students the opportunity to develop work-related skills while gaining fundamental knowledge to enter the job market more quickly.

Studying Computer Information Systems (CIS), Computer Networking (CNG), and Computer Science (CS) at TSC offers a diverse range of benefits that prepare students for thriving careers in the rapidly evolving tech industry. These fields equip students with the ability to bridge business and technology, developing skills to program, design, and manage information systems that drive organizational success. Cybersecurity trains students to protect critical systems and sensitive data from cyber threats, addressing the growing demand for experts in digital defense. Together, these paths build technical expertise alongside problem-solving, critical thinking, and adaptability — skills that make graduates valuable in virtually every industry.

These degrees are designed to provide a foundation for a wide variety of careers. The Associate of Science degree includes Guaranteed Transfer Courses and the lower-division history core courses recommended by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, giving students the basic and applied knowledge they need for upper-level coursework.
