Whittled my choices down. TESC: 3 different Bachelors
#34
CollegeStudent7 Wrote:I honestly don't think I am going to enjoy business, but I also don't think I would hate it. From what I know, courses will be tedious and boring. The ONLY reason I was leaning toward a Bachelors in Natural Science and Mathematics is because having ANY type of degree in Math gains peoples respect. I work at a recruiting agency and have only seen TWO people out of maybe 100+ people have a degree in Math. It feels like at least 70% of our applicants have a Business Admin. degree. That's why I am so torn.

The only thing I don't get is why a Bachelors in Natural Science and Mathematics is considered a Bachelors of Art. Also, I'm wondering if I would have a hard time going to grad school later on. I don't see grad school happening for me for another 5 years, just because my guy and I really cannot afford it financially. We're putting him through one of the top 10 universities in the tri-state area and when he graduates he is looking to finish an architecture program at one of the top 3 universities in NYC (where we live). They have awesome programs and it looks like he may have a chance. He's going to try to get scholarships, but the tuition averages 50k per year..and programs last 2.5 years...so we are saving up now.

There are SO many things I am interested in as far as grad school goes..or I may possibly just finish a BSN/MSN program. I feel like the possibilities are endless for grad school, so I am wondering if a Bachelor of Arts in Natural Science and Mathematics is so bad. Esp. because I'm really only interested in Administrative positions as of now and it seems like many people in this field have no degree or a degree in the following: Art, Music, Theater, Psychology, Fine Arts, Sociology...etc. And not to sound snooty, but I feel that Natural Science/Mathematics will have a little more edge than the following. Of course it depends on the person as well. You have to have good experience, present yourself well and work hard. All of which I have/do.
The Nat Sci/Math degree is a BA because it's a liberal arts degree. It's really only as good as the courses you take to fulfill the requirements. You will get into grad school with it as long as you meet the entry requirements of the programs you apply to- which is a good reason why not to take the only the easiest courses possible to get the degree.
