Bus Admin Degree to Science Field

<p>I have a feeling I might have screwed up big time in my selection of majors. I started as a Bus Admin major, and I'm entering my final year in undergrad with 3 years worth of bus admin studies.</p>

<p>However, I've felt for some time now that I'd like to enter something in the health/science fields, but quite frankly, I've got very limited exposure to science at the university level. </p>

<p>Having 160 quarter units already, with most focused on business, I've already been told by my school that I can't double major in biology or biosciences. If I can't go and double major in those fields, then I would assume that I wouldn't be able to get in to a science career with only a business degree, right? What's the next feasible option for me, if I wanted to get into the science field? </p>

<p>I've got a job lined up right now for an accounting firm, but quite frankly, I've just started losing the interest in that career option. I've got no idea what to do. Did anyone else get into science after getting in so deep with another major? Thanks</p>

<p>I knew a grad student in chemistry who was an English major as an undergrad. She got her degree in English but had taken some chem classes, and after graduation she went to a different college and got a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. That might be an option for you, but as long as you’ve already got an accounting job lined up, why not give that a chance and see what it’s like? The real world is often a very different thing from what we expect in college.</p>

<p>I had the same problem. I wanted to do chemical engineering after finishing with 3 years of molecular biology, but here’s how you should think of it:</p>

<p>once you graduate, most jobs at the B.S. level are the same except for the lucky few. I realized this after the first day working at a pharmaceutical company as an intern.</p>

<p>To go from business to something like biology is truly too great.</p>

<p>Instead, think about the math classes you’ve taken, because those are the only common things between business and science. Will it be enough to get a 2nd degree in Applied Math, Physics or Engineering?</p>
