<p>I currently attend Polk State College in Lakeland fl, I was considering transfering to UF (hopefully) or UCF. However PSC offers a Bachelor's of applied science in business. I was just wondering if anyone has gotten their degree from a community college ? Or would they want too? The price is amazing, and I wouldnt have to take out any loans. Also does anyone know how good the program is compared to some of the schools I listed above? Thanks in advance for any replies! </p>

<p>AACSB accreditation wouldn’t make a whit of sense for a community college. Displinary accreditations are, by and large, a wasteful proposition for an undergraduate institution. </p>
<p>The way I’d evaluate the program is to look at the curriculum for the major and compare it to the curricula from the other schools. Is it similar? Accounting, finance, management, marketing, organizational behavior, econ, etc.? I’d also ask about outcomes for alumni of the program - are they going on to careers like one you’d choose to pursue? Are they going on to graduate or professional programs (MBA)? I’d ask a couple of professors in the program what they think of it. I’d also ask them whether there’s much writing or group projects in their courses (more of both is better in this case).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>PSC, like Miami Dade, is not technically a community college anymore. It is a four year institution that offers both Associates degrees in many fields and Bachelors degrees in a limited number of fields. This isn’t all that different from the many small universities that offer umpteen Bachelors degrees and one or two Masters programs.</p>
<p>That said, programs like the one you are looking at often are designed in response to a particular local need. Take the time to meet with the instructors for the upper-level courses, and with the placement office on campus so that you can get an idea whether or not the program you are looking at at PSC will get you where you want to go. If not, then pursue a transfer.</p>
<p>ok, so sorry a being gone for months. However I have looked at courses and alot of them are similar. Ive also spoken with a two professor’s and their both really excited about the new program and say its good and only getting better. Would I be able to apply to grad school (a mba program) with a BAS? Or do I need something more open, Like BA, or BS.
-As far as employment I havent spoken with anyone yet. Thanks for any input and replies!!!</p>
<p>The most important thing for MBA admission is your work experience. Whether you have a BA, BS, BFA, or what ever the name is, provided it is a full degree and your grades were decent, there will be an MBA program that will take you. Don’t worry about this one.</p>
<p>Ok cool, because I do one day want to have my mba. Its just a personnal goal ya know… but a lot of the people transferring out were doing so because they thought they might not get admitted to an mba program :/</p>
