When I go to college, I plan to take business and I would like to study in learning book keeping so which…?
Degree would I choose? Would it be Associates, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral, Certificates, Diploma’s, Coursework, or MBA? I know this is a dumb question, but something tells me that I should ask this. I also plan on taking college online, but I’m not exactly for sure as to which one is the best. It would be nice if I could find something not cheap, but not real expensive either. I would also like someone online that is willing to help me 5 days a week and it would be really great if it were on the weekends too, but it doesn’t have to be.
I’m a junior right now, but I would like to start looking now and kind of be ready right after I graduate from school. So please, if you can give me as much truthful information as possible, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
You shouldn’t think of all the degrees you mention as immediately an option. Some require other degrees in order to start working towards them.
First, coursework is not a degree, it’s the classes you take to get a degree. A diploma is a general term for a degree in the United States (it’s a degree in Germany for instance, but let’s not confuse you). A certificate is not a degree, it’s a statement that you have taken classes in a particular area.
Associates and Bachelors are degrees that are options open to you right now. An Associate’s degree (usually a 2 year degree) is a terminal degree (meaning you can’t go on to a Masters, for instance), unless you then get a Bachelor’s degree. A Bachelor’s degree (a 4 year degree) is the only way that you can then go on to get a Masters, and then a Doctoral degree. An MBA is a particular type of master’s degree – a Master of Business Administration. Generally people don’t go on to get a Doctoral degree after an MBA, but there’s not reason you can’t. A Doctoral degree is something you can get only if you have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s first (well, unless you’re in a Doctoral program that “includes” the Masters classes, but you never get the Masters).
Anyway, since it sounds like you want to major in business, you would have the most options open to you if you got a Bachelors degree in business. You can always get an MBA latter, if you want.
