Charter Oak has an actual Major

[burbuja0512]

For what it's worth, I have never had an issue not having a major. Neither has my younger brother, who got his COSC degree in 2006 and has since gone on to complete his masters and begun work on a PhD. I simply list my degree as "Bachelor of Science, Business Administration" on my resume. Do I need to specify that it's a major or a concentration? Why would I? I never see people with majors listing their degrees as such. If someone wants to get specific on a background check or something, at that point, I would probably let them know that it's a concentration rather than a major, but I can't think of a single situation where this would make a serious difference unless I'm applying for a job where college transcript is being closely scrutinized, in which case, my CLEP's would probably be more detrimental than a concentration vs. major question. Remember, you can't lie on a resume, but you also don't have to give every minute detail. Based on the number of resumes I have seen, I don't think that there is one standardized format for listing out education. Almost every resume is slightly different in this aspect -when and if they want specific details beyond what you have, they'll let you know.

Overall, I chose COSC for several reasons, but I really liked doing a concentration rather than a major as it allowed more flexibility in my coursework. Business made the most sense for my career and helped pave the way for the MBA, but I'm really happy that I didn't get the BSBA from TESC or EC based on the requirements at the time. I was much more interested in what I studied with COSC.
