<p>Hello, I am a student currently studying overseas, earning a "bachelors" from a school not at all related to the US education system. It does have only 1 partner with a univeristy in seattle. However, none of the credits I earn from my school overseas can transfer to ANY school in USA. They call this a "bachelors degree", but in my opinion, it is just a fancy word they use to make students feel they finished college. This school is a trade school if it helps clarify the situation. Beforehand, I have earned barely enough credits to earn my Associate degree from a community college I attended years ago. I am only 3 Classes short, (2 science and 1 English ). Althought my overseas school is okay in terms of helping me work in the workforce. I have plans to finish up my school overseas, then come back to then community college, whilst probably working, finish up my Associate degree so I can have some closure. It has been 6 years since I started community college and I felt that I need to finish it up because it would be a shame to not have an Associate degree after all these years I put into it. </p>
<p>Afterwards, when I possibly start work full time, or part time. I would first start paying off the loans I used to pay for my overseas studies and use only my salary to pay for college in US. I would like to earn a Masters Degree in Business or if my mind changes, study something else. But I am left with another decision, should I pursue a Masters Degree? or Continue from my Associate Degree and transfer my credits to another school and get a second Bachelors degree. </p>
<p>The "bachelors degree", i am earning from this trade school overseas is in the field of business management. But after a few years studying there, I missed the US education system of very thorough and critical thinking offered at universities. </p>
<p>The question is,
For a better future, (having better job opportunities if possible, and have a well-rounded mind) should I pursue the Masters or the second bachelors?</p>
<p>Well, I’ve never heard of a Master’s in Business Management. In the U.S. at least, a Master’s in Business Administration is far more common. There are many reputable schools that offer MBA’s. Albeit, they are quite expensive I think.</p>
<p>If you did your associate’s here in the United States, you do not need to get it. An associates is not required at all to transfer to another university. You would need to finish a bachelor’s here by transferring to a four-year university because your bachelor’s degree credits doesn’t count for anything here. Then, you would apply to a business school. However, it really seems like you wasted a lot of time getting that “bachelor’s”, so I’m not sure if it’s really worth it to you if you’re only going to come back overseas. I’d think it’d be more worthwhile if you have definite plans on living there to get your master’s there because coming back I feel like you are going to spend a fortune and significant amount of time (3-6 years) before you can come back with degrees in hand. </p>
<p>However, I’d say we have the best business schools in the world. I just do not know if that would benefit you if you’re going back overseas. I would seriously look into what your country’s views are on U.S. degrees and if they would benefit you more in the interview process. Maybe talk to some teachers or something.</p>
<p>But I will have an associate degree, and the credits I earn are transferrable to other state universities near my area. Essentially when looking at the credits, I completed 2 years worth of college studies, and I need 2 more years to earn a bachelors degree from a US school. </p>
<p>Yes, if you’ve completed two years of college then you only have two years left at a four-year university. However, that is highly dependent on how many credits transfer over to your new institution. You will have to see if your community college has articulation agreements with four-year universities. Otherwise, you may need to retake classes and that could extend your stay at a four-year university by another year or so.</p>
<p>If I was given a choice, assuming that I have an Associate degree from a community college, and a “Bachelors Degree” from a trade school overseas.
I have the option to either earn a second bachelors in Human resources with 2 years more to earning it, or go to a university or college that offers a Masters in Business, which is better?</p>
<p>Masters or Second Bachelors?</p>
<p>I have a goal to becoming a human resource manager.</p>
