<p>I'm asking this on the business board as well to get two different viewpoints: if I'm interested in eventually working in the business world, probably accounting or finance, is it alright if my degree is an applied science degree with a major in CS and then have a second major in the business field, or is it important to have the business degree versus just the major?</p>

<p>I'm currently a freshman, and my plan right now is to the get the applied science degree and double major in accounting/finance. I feel like the CS degree will really give me a leg up and make me stand out, and I find it pretty interesting; it teaches me how to think. That being said, if my goal is business of some sort, I want to make sure I'm still viable for those types of jobs without a business degree. </p>

<p>Thanks for your input.</p>

<p>I think the CS degree is a good idea.</p>

<p>I don’t the second major in Business will be of much help. Maybe a minor will be better, but a major idk if its worth it.</p>

<p>If you want to get into business, I’d make your primary major business if I were you. You can still double-major in something like CS if you want. A primary in business with a secondary major in CS says “I want to get into business and I have quantitative skills”. The other way says “I have quantitative skills and maybe want to get into business someday”. Don’t do anything for the wrong reasons… the best reason you can have for choosing a college major is knowing what you want to do some day.</p>
