TESU BSBA Degrees. - terryd5150 - 08-21-2019 My question is regarding the actual TESU degree: the physical diploma & transcripts awarded upon completion of one of the BSBA options. This is not a question of curriculum or how the various concentrations differ from each other. For example: if someone earns a BSBA in Finance, how do the actual diploma & transcripts denote this? Does the diploma say Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, or does it simply state Bachelor of Science in Business Administration? How would you correctly denote this degree on a resume? "BSBA: Finance", or "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance"? While subtle, that delineation can have a profound impact on how potential employers would interpret your educational experience. There's a different impact in saying someone is a finance major vs. someone is a business major with a finance concentration. This subtlety can have dramatic impact on how employers view someone, as being a classified as a business major can almost be labeled as a "kiss of death" in some industries. Anyone that's completed a BSBA with a concentration is welcomed to chime in. RE: TESU BSBA Degrees. - dfrecore - 08-21-2019 My physical diploma says "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration" - but employers don't see this so the point is moot. My transcript says "Degree Awarded: BS in Business Administration" "Area of Study: Human Resources/Organizational Management" Employers that ask normally request your transcript, not your diploma. On my resume, I say "BS in Business Administration w/concentration in HR/Org Mgmt" because that's all there's space for (my own personal choice). Yes, if you're in a certain industry, then not having a specific degree can be problematic - 99% of people won't have this as a problem, so it's moot. But for someone who NEEDS a certain degree, you should get that. A BS in Accounting, a BS in Finance, etc. RE: TESU BSBA Degrees. - terryd5150 - 08-21-2019 (08-21-2019, 12:32 PM)dfrecore Wrote: My physical diploma says "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration" - but employers don't see this so the point is moot.
