Does a concentration matter?
#4
I agree with davewill - it really depends on the degree. I have a BSBA with a concentration in HR, which I would definitely list on an application, because the coursework I took was relevant to the job I'd be applying for (probably in HR). But if I only had a concentration in General Management, I might not list it because it probably wouldn't be that important.

That being said, some jobs want certain degrees, while others don't care at all, either wanting "any" degree, or a relevant degree. Better to get a degree relevant to jobs you want, then get an "any" degree and hope that it will work for what you're looking for.

It may also behoove you to get a certification or some other sort of "proof" that you have experience or knowledge in a particular area if that's important to your career/industry.
