I am currently getting my 2-year AAS in Human Resourses. I want to get my BA in it. What kind of classes will I have to take when I transfer schools. (More generals or specific like more business classes, etc.)

It all depends on the school you go to. You will need to take the general classes (math, english, science, etc) but for your core HR classes you will probably need to take classes in business, training, employment law, organizational development, and other classes specifically related to HR. This is of course if the program you are in is specifically for HR. There are many schools out there now that offer degrees in HR Management. \n\nHOpe this helps. I received my BA in Human Relations with an emphasis in HR Managment.

Any type of degree or certification improves your chances over those who don't have it.  An AA is also a good stepping stone to a Bachelor's...and sounds like it's a good short-term goal for you.  As an individual who has to hire people periodically, if an individual is over 25 and doesn't have a degree or certification of any sort, I put their resume aside.  I worked full time, had a full time job, and helped support a household and still managed to find time to improve myself with education.  So, I expect the same of those who will work for me.

Personally I would advise getting a second major that varies more from your first choice. For example, a foreign language or a computer degree.\n\nIf you want both degrees to be in business, I'd go for economics (or how about finance?) or marketing. \n\nHuman resources is a staff job, as opposed to a line job, and that means you can only advance so far in the company. Are you familiar with this distinction? Staff jobs support the business but don't bring in revenue or have affect the bottom line as much. They are more generic, that is, you can do HR for any type of company without having specialized knowledge.\n\nLine jobs ARE the business. You are directly involved in the core of whatever your company's product or service is. You must know about widgets to make it in the widget industry.\n\nExamples of line jobs are manufacturing, sales, marketing. Examples of staff jobs are HR, communications, IT, shipping (unless your company is an IT or a shipping company).\n\nMajoring in entrepreneurship will tell employers you want to go into business for yourself, whether that's your plan or not, they may be afraid you won't be a company man.

You can do that if you go enlisted. They will help you get your bachelors, its called TA tuition assistance, as well as having the MGIB.

Obtaining another degree can be difficult while studying athletic training.  This is primarily due to the time commitment involved with clinical rotations.  Most individuals who have dual undergraduate degrees with athletic training generally concentrate in an area that have similar core courses --- majors like exercise physiology, physical education, or biomechanics.  \n\nTo obtain a degree in business, I would recommend going that route in graduate school.  Good luck.

Stick to education and get your degree.  Once you have your BA you can always go for a Master's in Business if you really want it.  If you are planning to start your own company, and it is related to the educational field then your degree will help. If you need to get a job and work for someone else for a while before you start your business, there are lots of jobs that are educationally related.\n\nIf you just want to keep going to school for a while, sure, switch it out and minor in education.  But whatever you choose to do, get your piece of paper.  Once you get out into the world, unless you are looking at technical jobs, you'll be surprised by how much the piece of paper means, but not what is on it.

BA would be a bachelor of the ARTS, and would probably focus more on the theoretical or conceptual.\n\nBS would be bachelor of SCIENCE, and would focus more on the actual applications and reasoning.

If you live near a large university or are willing to go away to school, ask them if they have online programs/distance learning. I think a lot of the bigger schools are starting to develop such courses, and because they have a wider variety of majors, they might start putting the business schools out of business.\n\nOtherwise, you can learn quite a bit from online schools. "School" is what you make of it, meaning if you have the discipline to make yourself do the course work, you can learn an awful lot and become successful. Friends have told me that employers don't care where you got your degree, but want to know what you know and can do for them. In the IT field, for instance, certifications (A+, MCSE, etc.) are the key.\n\nPersonally, I dislike the online programs because of the limited number of majors and the poor feedback I received from my school. I wasn't able to graduate, and I'm going to transfer into a physical campus once I can swing it. I can get better feedback since I won't have to call someone in South Dakota (where my school is located) from my home in the Cincinnati area - I can actually go talk to the instructor.

try university of maryland college park, univ. maryland baltimore county, john hopkins, university maryland university college (lots of online programs) bowie state university...\n\nsocial work is a major that involves lots of face to face classwork. i would think it would be difficult to find an online program for that. you may want to also talk to a transfer counselor at anne arundel community college as well...check out the websites to the schools above and see what you can find.

Valerie...first of all - congratulations! You're never too old to learn or to get a degree. Most likely you will be able to find a position with a social services agency, probably non profit places would be a great place for you to start! Why not complete the associate degree and have that piece of paper? Then, if you choose, you can continue on for the Bach. of Science in Human Services. Most jobs in the fields that will employ you most will want a Bachelor's degree. But it's not to say that you cannot become employed with an Associate's! Does Baker College offer any career counseling?\n\nGo to FOFWEB.com and enter Strayer/Strayer. It's a fabulous website!

Counseling is clearly one option.  Also, there are places where your background would be great for Human Resources Department.  You might also see how you fit with marketing and so on.  A lot of it will have to do with your interests other than your degree, where your degree is just a bonus, since your degree (presumably a bachelor's) is one that is normally a preliminary to a higher degree in professions like researcher and such.  You would probably do well as a research assistant in social research, including marketing.\n\nIf I were you, I'd not write off the idea of taking a higher degree, and you could make money as a teaching assistant or junior counselor in the undergraduate program while you pursue that higher degree.  I guess we are back to what really interests you.  \n\nThe two great divisions in social sciences generally are clinical and research.  If clinical, what sort of clients would you like to serve: children, elderly, single parents, the poor, handicapped, etc.?  If research, what sort of topics?

You can transfer at any time.  When you transfer, you might lose some of the credits you earned at your current school.  It depends on what you took.  As a freshman, your classes were probably pretty basic and therefore should transfer without a problem.\n\nIf you are transferring because you don't know what you want to do yet, may I suggest going to a community college for 2 years and then transferring to a university?  At a CC, you can take a lot of different classes and they are usually less expensive.  When you get your 2 year degree from a CC, you can start as a Junior at at a university.  Many CC's have counselors from the universities right in their admission offices so you can meet with them and make sure you are taking what you need to have a smooth transfer. \n\nI was a professional transfer student, I went to 5 different colleges before graduating.  If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten an AA at a Community College and then transferred.  I had a lot of student loan debt coming out of school and I could have avoided that by picking a cheap school at the beginning.  You get a 2 year degree, but you will also get the "name-brand" 4 year degree when you transfer and graduate. \n\nGood luck!

The units from the school where you received your Associates degree should transfer to the school you want to get your Bachelor's degree from.

Well, depending on the tech colleges in your area, you may be able to both . Where I'm at, most of the technical schools are 2-year colleges associated with the Board of Regents (the state's governing body on univeristies). What's that mean? Well, in addition to offering 2-year Associates degrees in basic subjects, and coursework fulfilling requirements for certain licensures (such as Registered Nurse, or Microsoft and CISCO certifications); they offer a number of pre-professional programs in areas such as teaching and law that in many cases will transfer 1:1 with coursework at a traditional University. \nTo put it another way, you are thinking about becoming a personal trainer. I'll assume you've done your research and found that you could do it with a tech school degree.  The college/tech school I'm nearest to offers 2-year Associate of Arts degrees in Athletic Training, Physical Education, and Sports Administration; as well as a Pre-professional transfer program in Physical Therapy.\nBut as far as getting a "happy job", that's totally up to you. I've known ditch-diggers (that is, people with low-paying, little-to-no-education-needed jobs) who go home every night with smiles on their faces, and I've known guys who you'd think were happy as flies on manure that drank themselves to an early grave. I'm not saying it's easier to be happy with less, I'm saying possible to be happy.

An associates in business is almost worthless--you need a bachelors.  If you are planning on getting an associates, computers would probably be better.  \n\nIf you commit to a 4 year degree, major in business & minor in computers or vice versa.  And then add certifications (by taking exams i.e. CPA, CIA) rather than an MBA.

You might need to take a few undergraduate courses to meet admissions requirements but there should be no need get another bachelors.  Just check with the school you want to go to.
