Business administration degree reddit

My partner got his BS in Business Admin - Marketing, and eventually became an (non-CPA) accountant.
A bachelor in Business is pretty versatile.
Since you mentioned accounting/finance, you can always take more classes in accounting/finance your last two years (or even after graduation) which will help prepare you for the CPA test.

GL An associate's degree in business is not worth much.
If you look at online job postings related to business, I think you'll see that the vast majority of employers are looking for job candidates with a bachelor's degree or higher.

However, I would strongly advise against any degrees like "Management, Marketing, or General Business," as they don't teach a whole lot aside from a few core classes.
It's best to go with a business degree in, "Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, Management Information Systems," as those degrees teach you job applicable skills.

Getting a degree in business administration is basically like becoming the jack of all trades and a master of nothing.
Most of the people I met that go for it have no idea what they really want.
They assume having a degree in business will guarantee them a job.
Please don't do major in BUS admin.

Now, general business or Business administration is pretty useless in terms of employment because both degrees teaches you to be the jack-of-all-trade-and-master-at-none student
