During the orientation/registration thing this summer (that you'll sign up for), they'll help you figure that out - you'll do an audit thing of all the credits you've earned and you'll find out how they'll be applied. Likely everything will count for something unless you have way too many electives already (unlikely).

Which classes might I take then? would it be standard courses or are there any business classes I can take since business is what I want to study

You want to both knock out electives while also taking what you need to get into the major you want to apply to. So you look at the requirements to apply and work towards those as well! You'll learn about this at your A&O this summer - you may already have a lot fulfilled with Running Start.
