There is no difference if the associates is a AAS or ASBA. With a dual focus BSBA I would prefer the AAS, over the ASBA. It would be something different in comparison to yet a third undergrad business degree; that would be overkill. The ES&ST degree could get you elected to the company safety committee and/or be a cool addition to the HR function.
Definitely. I emailed this time - maybe I was not clear on the telephone, who knows - so hopefully they agree that it is allowable. I am interested in the ASBA also (no extra credits were required, and in hard economic times when PhDs are applying for entry-level positions, it's good to have an option to 'downgrade' a resume if the unspeakable ever happened to avoid an overqualified pile), but the AAS is more interesting. The reasons you listed are why I think the AAS-ES&ST degree would be a great addition to the BSBA. Working in both Operations management and HR, it's valuable information. Tack on a 10-hour or 30-hour OSHA cert, and it also adds versatility to work as a Safety Officer if the need arises.
Sorry to hijack the thread, momtomany! The 12 new credits just cannot be used to complete a different degree's requirements. They do not have to be from the area of study, but they typically are just due to the universal overlap of Gen Ed requirements.
