<p>I am a business man at heart. I have always wanted to work for a fortune 500 business, technology/ computer company on a corporate level and I need some helping choosing the best path to get me there.</p>
<p>Which would you recommend:</p>
<p>-Bachelor of Science Marketing with (2) minors in: Business Administration & Computer Science.</p>
<p>-Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with (2) minors in: Marketing & Computer Science.</p>
<p>Marketing, Business Admin are useless majors in the undergraduate level and if you don’t go to a top school. Major in accounting or finance to actually get jobs. Or just stick with CS and minor in marketing/admin</p>
<p>I am using the general “BS in Business Admin or BS in Marketing” with 2 minors as a foundation to prepare me for my master’s degree than the PHD program.</p>
<p>Sound good?</p>
<p>A business admin is not useless if he has a concentration in a field such as accounting, finance or MIS. Your second option would be the most useful, but just make sure to have a concentration as I mentioned.</p>
<p>Newmusic you need at least 2 years of legitimate work experience to get into a masters program. Do not major in marketing and do not major in business administration without a concentration in finance/accounting. End of story</p>
<p>I reallllyyyyy have no interest in accounting. I do not want to even think about becoming a CPA. I do not mind Finance. But if I get a minor in Finance or Accounting with a Business Admin. degree what would that open me up to in the career world?</p>
<p>everyone is always so absolute on this thread. Geez.
marketing and business admin degrees still offer some opportunities. A business major with a minor in Computer science, which is what newmusic is contemplating, offers even more.</p>
<p>and you do NOT need 2 yrs work experience for all Masters programs.</p>
<p>newmusic: is your goal to become a phd, or work at a fortune 500 company? Because you dont need a phd to work at a fortune 500 company.</p>
<p>as for your major/minor combos theyre both pretty similar. If you’d really like to get into marketing then do that one. If youd like to take a wider range of classes do the business admin one. Personally, i hate marketing.</p>
<p>@ Whatdidyou</p>
<p>Yes, I wanted to obtain my bachelors & masters than work for a fortune 500 company on corporate level.</p>
<p>I thought studying a phd and obtaining one in the long run, would further my chances of increasing rank.</p>
<p>I love marketing since it’s familiar to me. I would also like to try a variety of new business classes to get the best of all worlds… which may be the BSBA degree, correct? With a minor in computer science and marketing.</p>
<p>You increase rank by showing prowess at your current level on the corporate latter, not by being an expert academic in a particular business field.</p>
