Business Degree Path Guidance

[rachel83az]

At the end of the day, you end up with a BSBA (Business Administration major) having an AOS doesn't really matter, it's just indicating you have a concentration in a sub category, you still end up with the BSBA with a focus in CIS, Entrepreneurship, or whatever you decide on.  Your pro business core requirements will give you an overview of focus subjects that may interest you, the AOS is to further cement that knowledge or improve on it. The degree is different than say a BSIT, BA/BS in one of the AOS offered such as a BS in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, etc...

Saying AOS doesn't really matter is not always true. When deciding which career field you want to pursue, your Area of Study can make a huge difference. 
If your AOS is Marketing, but you really want an Accounting job, consider that a Marketing concentration only requires 2 courses in accounting. This may not be enough to beat out other job candidates who have a B.S. in Accounting and definitely is not enough courses for CPA exam eligibility. If you want to work in H.R. then an AOS other than H.R./Organizational Management would probably not make sense. 

Think about what jobs you have an interest in first, then consider which AOS will help you get there.

I agree. Any degree is better than no degree. But a career-applicable degree is better than a generic degree. Instead of simply going for whatever is "fastest" or "easiest", it's a good idea to stop and think about what kind of jobs you want and what degree(s) will help you to get there. Sometimes, this isn't going to be the fastest, easiest, or cheapest degree but it will make life so much easier for you in the long run.
