Pierpoint BOG Area of Emphasis for retail Store Manager

[Brandon.Thomas.Downer]

I'm currently finishing up sophia courses to get my BOG AAS. As far as my area of emphasis, which would you recommend to go from a retail assistant manager to a store manager? I'm looking at either business or management, thanks

Are you planning on continuing to a Bachelor's degree in the near future?

No, don't bother with a generic business or leadership, management emphasis since you're already going for the BABA. You should go for a different emphasis such as Info Systems, this way, you'll be somewhat versed in multiple fields instead of being only versed in 'business': https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Leadership

If you're going directly to a bachelor from this, then it really won't matter much.

I'm planning on going to UMPI for the BA - Management and Leadership

That's right, when you have a Bachelors, they wouldn't look at the Associates much if it's in the same subject matter. It would only be beneficial if it's in a different subject matter. My recommendation still remains, do another emphasis at Pierpont for the BOG unless you don't have enough energy, time to get those credits...

I agree. If you're going to get a BABA, don't bother with a Business AOE at Pierpont. Get Info Systems or something along those lines.

Thank you,  that makes a lot of sense.

I probably wouldn't bother with an emphasis unless you can get it using credits you need for the bachelor's anyway.
