Prerequisites for BA in Business Administration course? Let's say that I have an Associates Degree in Business and Management. Would that count towards a BA in Business Administration? Meaning, that in two years I'd be able to conclude that BA? Or must I have an AA in Business Administration in order to count towards the bachelor?

MBA or MPA for the job market? Which is more reputable? Will having an MBA substantially increase your case for employment? I live in Northern California (Sacramento), and attend the California State University system.. Essentially I can get my Masters of Public Administration for free (State University grant) or pay 7-10K out of pocket for the Masters of Business Administration prerequisite courses and special MBA fees.. Bear in mind that my internships have been in politics and I live in a Government area

Can you go to Dental School with a BA in Business Management / Business Administration? Assuming you meet all of the prerequisites of course, by taking extra classes if needs be. Also, how much would the seemingly ill suited Undergraduate degree influence your acceptance to a dental school and your career thereafter?

I have a bachelor degree in Business Administration, can I still become a dentist or a doctor? Since I already have a bachelor degree, I don't have a plan to go back to school and take additional courses like Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and etc. I would like to know if there's any dental school or medical school doesn't require those prerequisite or the least requirement. (The school I might attend with DAT or MCAT scores) Thank you.

To be a senator which form of political science would be best? I have studied other senators but i can't really find exactly what they branched off in to.. thanks for feedbackk. Comparative Politics (Most courses satisfy X area multicultural requirement) Introductory course and prerequisite to upper-level courses in the field: CPO2002 Comparative politics studies the domestic politics of countries throughout the world and develops an understanding of how politics works by observing the differences and similarities among various political systems. Comparative politics is interdisciplinary because to understand the politics of a country, we must also understand something of its economy, social system, international position, history, and culture. International Relations Introductory course and prerequisite to upper-level courses in the field: INR2002 International relations is the study of the political relationships among the world’s national governments. Courses in international relations look at many of the problems and issues of world politics and provide possible explanations for the events we witness. Topics include such things as the causes and effects of war and peace; the difficulties faced by nations in making agreements; the role of international organizations such as the United Nations; the formation of foreign policy; and global responses to contemporary social problems. American Government (Note that some courses with the POS prefix are not American Government courses) Introductory course and prerequisite to upper-level courses in the field: POS1041 The study of American politics aims to answer important and enduring questions about politics and government at the local, state, and national levels. Various courses consider such topics as political participation and voting behavior; the conduct of elected politicians, both in campaigning and in governing; and institutions like interest groups, bureaucracy, and the courts. Courses use theoretical, historical, and analytical perspectives to illuminate the workings of the American political system. Public Policy Introductory course and prerequisite to upper-level courses in the field: PUP3002 The study of public policy focuses on what governments do, how and why they do it, and what the consequences are. Such studies may focus on governmental decisions made at any level and in any nation, and can range from studies of specific government actions or programs to more general assessments of government performance. Public Administration Introductory course: PAD3003 – a good first course, not prerequisite to upper-level courses Public administration courses are taught by the Reuben Askew School of Public Administration. The PAD internship is the only one of their courses that cannot count toward the political science major. Public administration studies the role and functioning of bureaucracies in the formulation and implementation of public policy. It looks at the legal, financial, and managerial aspects of government activities, with a practical and applied approach. It can be thought of a business administration for the public sector. IM NOT ASKING HOW TO BE A SENATOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED ALL OF THAT; I WANT TO KNOW WHICH FIELD OF POLITICAL SCIENCE WILL LOOK BEST ON MY RESUME AND WHY? i plan to major in law and become a lawyer but i wanted my minor to be in social sciences.. thanks.

Am I eligible to study Bachelor of Business Administration in US with no accounting basics during high school? I am a year 12 equivalent student in Malaysia who wish to pursue a degree in BBA in US after completing the course. The problem is that I am a student from the science stream, my subject combination for this particular course is Maths, Biology, Chemistry and General Studies. During my high-schooll years, I also did not take up any subjects related to business eg. Accountancy, Economics etc. I have no academic basics in Business which are needed to excel in this course. I have went to several universities' websites to check the prerequisite subjects to study BBA and what most of them only stated Mathematics. So, 1) Am I still eligible to enroll in universities in US (Ivy league if possible) to study BBA without a foundation in Accounting/Economics? 2) Do most BBA undergraduates in US took Accounting/Economics in high school or pre-U before they go into the course? 3) What is the duration and cost to study a typical BBA course in the US? 4) Job prospect?

Need professional advice: should i drop my math major to graduate early and take a business internship? Hello all. I apologize in advance for the length of this, but I'd really appreciate some input on this idea that I keep tossing around. Currently, I am a 2nd semester junior double majoring in mathematics and business administration. In my business degree, I am specializing in accounting and finance. When I graduate, I will be able to take the CPA test immediately, as I will have more than 150 hours and all required accounting coursework. Originally, I was going to take 4 math classes next semester (I know, I was crazy), and would be able to graduate a semester early with both degrees. However, one professor wouldn't let me into Calc-based probability, and since I go to a tiny university, I'll have to wait a whole year to take it. The reason I wasn't let in was because I dropped Calculus III last semester, which is now a prerequisite (instead of a concurrent course, like I was told). At this level, I'm not really enjoying my math courses as much. In Abstract Algebra I, I ended up with my first C ever because, frankly, I just did not care about the material at all. My schedule is so spread out now that I'll only have a max of 13 hours a semester since I've almost completed my business degree and I only need 6 more classes for my math degree. I think I should be able to pull B's in my remaining math courses and A's in my business ones. However, I can drop my math major down to a minor and graduate a semester early like I'd originally planned to. In addition, if I drop my math classes, I'll be able to pick up an area of emphasis in marketing. Here are some more considerations to this now very-long post: (1) I was originally intending to get the math degree as a backup in case I wanted to pursue and actuarial career. However, I don't think I have a desire to do this since I don't look forward to the prospect of my next 10 years being dominated by tests. (2) My ultimate post-graduation plans are to get a Masters of Finance and work in the area of asset management, particular in the areas of fundamental, value, or special situations (distressed debt, etc.) investing. For this career path, I really don't need what higher mathematics offers, and I plan to avoid master's programs that focus on financial engineering. (3) I'm worried that I will look intellectually weak to grad schools by dropping my math major. I come from a tiny school in WV, so I think it'll be hard for me to get into the University of Florida, my top choice right now for finance. However, I think that, by dropping my math major, I'll be able to better focus on my GMAT (I got a 1500 on the SAT, so hopefully I can replay this) and will have at least 9 months of full-time work experience under my belt, in addition to the internship at a regional accounting firm (100+ people) that I'll get this summer. (4) As a plus for graduate school, I am in the McNair Scholar's Program at my school. However, I am doing my research project with a mathematics professor, which will look odd if I just have a math minor. Why did I pick this person? Like I said, the school I go to is tiny and the finance professor is rarely there and has little practical knowledge, which is what I like. Thanks for trudging through this mess!

What type of job can I find in the healthcare industry utilizing anatomy/physiology? I have a BS degree in business administration and have decided I want to work in the healthcare field so I have taken all the prerequisites for nursing (RN). After having completed the prerequisites, now I am not sure I want to be a nurse, but I am very interested in the healthcare field. What type of job can I find in the healthcare industry with the education I currently have (BS Business Adm, Anatomy/Physiology/Microbiology courses). I really need to work as soon as possible and I do not want endure much more schooling.

Prerequisites for medical school, how and where? I am living in Japan and will graduate from college in the fall if 2012. I will be receiving a degree in business administration, with minimal science and math credits. I want to enter a medical school in the US and so my questions are; How can I get the prerequisites credit for medical school? How and where can I find information on universities that offer this kind of courses? Are there any exams I need to take? And how long does finishing all the requirements typically take on a full time study schedule? Thank you

Can I become a Physiotherapist in Canada with a low gpa? Please help! In 2008, I graduated from UBC with a major in Psychology and a minor in Business Administration. Unfortunately, I graduated with a 2.5 GPA, with my last 60 credit hours being around the same average. During my undergrad, I was faced with some difficult circumstances which did not allow me to devote the requisite time to my studies. Since this time, I have gained considerable strides in my personal life and I'm now able to devote the necessary time to my studies. I have also discovered my passion is to pursue physical therapy and become a licensed therapist. I have countless volunteer work hours with people of physical disabilities both locally and abroad in third world countries. I have also received great references and work experiences from internationally recognized companies from around the world. I continue to volunteer in my community, hold an excellent position at a reputable company in Vancouver and continue to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I am will to do almost anything to gain acceptance to a Physio therapy program in Canada and even if I have to, somewhere abroad. I understand there are some prerequisite courses required which I don't have (ie, anatomy/physiology/biology) - I have no problem taking these courses before I apply. However, I don't want to go back to school and retake a bunch of courses only to realize I don't stand any chance of being accepted. (And re-doing another degree will be too timely and upgrading courses from a 2.5 to 3.5 gpa may take several years) I understand a few schools have an extenuating circumstances application, but I'm still not sure whether I would make the cut. Several schools I have contacted have closed the door on me, stating I should only apply with at least a 3.2-3.5 or above. I am willing to do anything to pursue my dream and refuse to take no for an answer. THEREFORE....I am wondering, is there any hope for me? Will any school accept me? Is there anything I can do in the next one year to help my chances of being accepted? If anyone has any information or suggestions, it would be a great help! Thank you!!

Should i drop chemistry? I am in grade 12 and I go to high school in Ontario and am planning to go to the University of Windsor for Business Administration (Science of any sort is not a prerequisite). Now, I decided to take chemistry because i thought it would be a good idea to have a 12U science. I already have 6 other 12U or M courses so if i get out of chemistry i still have the requirements of 6 U or M courses. However, ive thought about it and I know that I am never going to do anything concerning chemistry in my future studies in university. and to get in to a science program at university you moreless need a 70% in that 12U science course to get in which i am not likely to get. So isnt taking this difficult course pointless? or is it worth it to continue? If i can switch to something else preferrably another 12U course should i do it?

What should I do with this aimless life? Well, I'm 22, about to graduate from university after 5 years of study...which is all fine and dandy except over the past 8 months, I've grown to hate my field. I can't stand the thought of getting a job in this industry. It's so boring, vapid, useless... Some background: I'll be graduating with a Bachelor in Math and another Bachelor in Business Administration, majored in statistics and finance. My whole university career, I've wanted to do finance. Practically every course I took had to do with investments, trading, mathematical modeling etc, and every internship I did was at a trading firm. Everything was perfect, everything was supposed to culminate to the perfect finance job after graduation! And then...I got an internship at an investment banking firm and did banking for a while...oh my god, it was the worst year of my life! Everyday, 15 hours of work, no weekends, people on my back all the time, my coworkers talking shit about me...After that disgusting experience, I've been turned off finance completely. When I look at stock prices now, all I can think about is the idiots in my office arguing about book value...*shudder*....I can't stand it now. I can't stand following stocks any more. I used to love studying derivatives, and now I can't bear to crack open the new textbooks I had bought. It feels like I've become a new person and I don't know who I am. Short of banking being a stupid practice, it's over now anyway. There's practically no jobs in finance. The new grad interview cycles are over, I didn't apply to grad school because I don't want to stay in school another 2 years. SIGH But now what am I supposed to do? I don't want to work in an office job, staying inside the office all freaking day looking at a computer, wasting my life away plugging numbers for someone else. But what else can I do with my degrees. Math + BBA = Finance URG. I looked up what it takes to be a doctor, but it turns out because of all those finance courses, I don't have the prerequisites.... God my life is lame. What should I do with my lame lame life that is non-finance related...

Bachelors or Associates degree in nursing? I know I will be accepted into the RN program because I have a 4.0 gpa in all my prerequisite courses. I'm doing a double major in business also( finance or accounting) and I just feel the bsn would be a bit much. Plan A. Go for a bachelors of science in nursing and attend part time classes for my business degree Pros. There will be more opportunities for advancement with a bsn Cons. Financial aid might not pay for a double major Plan B Receive my associates in nursing and work at a hospital part time while finishing my bachelors degree in business. I was also thinking the hospital might pay for continuous education so I can get my bachelors in nursing. Can not think of any negative side effects because I believe this makes more sense. I'm nineteen and I could not choose between business and health care so I chose both. I think it is a great way to become more marketable. Hospital administration is a great field that requires knowledge of the business world, accounting, and health care experience. I also wanted to get my cpa license while working as a RN part time. I know it seems like a lot but I'm dedicated and have no children yet :)

MBA and MS in accounting Prerequisites? Hey everyone, thank you for taking th etime to review my question. I am currently an undergrad student, junior year, BA in economics. I am very interested in becoming an accountant, particularly a CPA, however thats a different story. Basically my question is can I go for an MBA with a concentration in accounting (CPA qualifiying), or a MS in Accounting, with an economics BA and not an accounting BA? I am unsure because I am nervous that if I try to switch to accounting MS or MBA after being an economics undergrad they will make me take many accounting undergrad courses before going for the graduate degree. Please not that I also have an associates degree in business administration, and have taken two beginner level accounting courses, or 6 credit hours. Thank you for your help By the way please note that the reason I chose a BA in economics instead of accounting is because to transfer into accounting I would have lost about 25 undergrad credits which is a lot, and I am looking to complete undergrad as fast as possible. This is because I transferred from a community college.

Suggestions for pursuing a graduate mathematics degree? I'm entering the field after a 10-year hiatus from math studies. I'll need to complete a significant amount of undergrad prerequisites before attending grad school, as my B.A. was in Business Administration. - Where can I find out more about my options for this? - Is it worth it to get a 2nd B.A. or B.S.? - Are there some good, accredited distance learning courses for Calc 1-3? - What are some resources for evaluating Masters and PhD programs, and learning more about the research specialties/opportunities at different schools?

Career Choice.... Help Me Please.? I am 24 years old and was about 2 years away from getting my BA degree from University of Phoenix Online before I decided to go for a major change. I changed my major from Business Administration to Nursing. I went back to community college to satisfy various science and math prerequisites in order to be ahead of the game, thus having only nursing courses to complete all the way up to receiving my BSN (i.e. I would get my ASN from a community college first, then work as a RN and go to school to receive my BSN). I'm currently studying to take the HESI entrance exam in order to be accepted into a nursing school. Meanwhile, I'm having second thoughts. Now, what persuaded me to want to become a nurse was the career stability, as far as occupation demand and lucrative pay. While I feel like being a nurse is something I could do and grow to love (I also naturally like to help people), it wasn't my first or main reason I chose the career. I'm having second thoughts because what I really want to do is travel. I love to travel and it has been my passion growing up. I need help finding lucrative careers that are in demand involving traveling. In all honesty, I used to want to be a flight attendant. Help me please, before I make a decision that may hunt me for the rest of my life.
