Majors in Areas Outside of Business

The B.S. in Business Administration, Marketing, and Management are programs that will meet the needs of many students interested in careers in a variety of business fields. For some students, however, a program in an area outside of business might make sense.

Already have a bachelor’s degree in a different area?
It usually doesn’t make sense to do a second bachelor’s degree in business. Instead, consider a Masters of Business Administration degree (M.B.A.) which will provide a stronger credential and may not take much longer to complete than a second bachelor’s degree. Follow the link for more information about the Metropolitan State University College of Management M.B.A.

Close to earning a bachelor’s degree with a different major?
You may want to finish a bachelor’s degree and then pursue an M.B.A. Again, this route might not take longer than switching direction to do a bachelor’s degree in business. While completing the other bachelor’s degree, you can take courses that will meet M.B.A. prerequisites. Follow the link for more information about the prerequisites for the College of Management M.B.A.

Need a bachelor’s degree, but the major is not important?
If completing a bachelor’s degree as quickly as possible is important to you, and you have lots of previous credits in a variety of areas (perhaps 90+ semester credits), especially in areas outside of business, you may want to consider doing an individualized B.A. degree through Metropolitan State University’s First College. This route enables students to work with advisors to plan their own personally tailored degree that makes use of past courses and adds other courses to meet individual goals. Especially if you have not yet completed college algebra, statistics, economics, accounting, or other courses required for the B.S. in Business Administration, you may be able to finish a First College individualized degree much more quickly than you can complete a B.S. in Business Administration. Some students will include M.B.A. prerequisite courses in their individualized program, and then go on to an M.B.A. after the individualized program in order to advance their business education. Please review First College programs for more information.

Don’t like math, statistics, or business courses?
If you enjoy and do well in courses in other areas but you don’t enjoy math, statistics, or other quantitative courses, or if you don’t find other business courses interesting, consider choosing a major more closely related to your interests and abilities. Many students with majors outside of business find jobs in business settings, while others find that careers in other areas are more attractive. Contact Career Services at Metropolitan State University, or go to ISEEK for resources and help exploring your major and career interests, goals, and options.
