BAS Minor MIS & Cyber Security- Application

[bjcheung77]

Everyone will give you a different answer and it really varies on the person, I look at the overall picture to determine which path a person should take, otherwise it's 50/50 as it won't really matter when you get the MAOL and/or MBA, I would go the route a majority of the board would recommend. Most would recommend the BBA, I on the other hand, will recommend the BAS instead as it takes the 60 credits to allow you to personalize this degree to your liking and max the transfer credit...

Essentially, when you get the Masters, it won't really matter what your undergrad is, unless it's in a radically different degree. You don't need a business undergraduate degree to get into the MAOL or MBA, you just need the prerequisites. Thus, I usually recommend the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience as that matters more than just the name of the degree. Your BAS can be made exactly as the BBA requirements, but the name is the only difference!

A note I've always mentioned, if you're younger than 35, plus have very less certs and/or experience, I would recommend the BBA to strengthen your application. However, if you're over 35, have plenty of certs and/or experience, the BAS as a check the box degree is all you need to get to the next educational goal, focus on the MBA/MAOL.

Edit To add - You want to make sure you have the prerequisites for whichever Masters program you may want to attend in the future. That's a main focus, as you don't want to take extra bridging classes if you are missing anything. Flip a coin, I would do BAS, the majority of the board would do the BBA...
