You should really have an idea of what kind of developer you want to be. Most definately you should go to business school. The only problem with a degree in business is that it is just a lot of theory about how to set goals, how to do a business plan, how to do a strategic and action plan, a little bit about marketing, finance, and accounting, a lot of math and algebra, critical thinking and problem solving, and various management styles and strategies. It's a lot of really good knowledge if you have someplace to apply it. Business school is more about having 100% committment to acheiving your goals than anything else so you better know what your goals are. \nYou might go into television and media. Or real estate, or manufacturing, or banking, or engineering. \nIt would be better to choose an undergraduate program like the ones I mentioned and then get a masters degree in business to top it off.

Universities with business programs will have this course.  It might have different names, though, depending on the country and school.

If I were you, I would first get a BS in a technical area, such as an engineering discipline.  Then get a MBA in finance.\n\nThat's basically what I'm doing.  I already have a BS in ChemE and will eventually go back to school to get my MBA in finance.\n\nI know some that went straight to business school and are doing great, but I do know that those with technical backgrounds on top of business degrees are VERY desirable.\n\nGood luck!

Business - Administration, Management, whatever. While an Information Systems degree will get you big bucks down the road, a Business degree on your resume will draw attention from just about any type of employer.

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.

Get your butt in school! If you don't want to attend a 4-year school, most business colleges have nighttime programs, most likely for business management, information technology, marketing, sales, etc. - I'm sure accounting is a common major as well.

Here's what you can do. Start your degree in business management. The business management degree will cover all of the topics you mention including some others. All of the specialized programs are virtually the same with the exeption of a few courses. For instance, the only difference between a degree in marketing and a degree in business is 4 courses. The same with business and finance. So you could consider getting a dual degree in business and also finance, or marketing and business. You could then continue your education to get your Masters degree in the area of study you like. For instance, you can get a Masters in Finance, or Master in Marketing or Business.

I would recommend getting your undergraduate degree in any field that interests you and that you will want to work in the industry of (ex. Public Relations, Marketing, Accounting), and a masters in Business Administration or Management.\n\nThat way, you can end up managing a company that deals with something you are educated about and enjoy (such as managing a marketing firm.)

i believe colleges offer a BBA- bachelor in business Administration-they did in 1968 when i went to college- don't know about today- my suggestion would be - take accounting- the best business background you can have-because it gives you a complete understanding of business, and how businesses run, and how we keep track of the results-- other possibilities are economics, marketing, advertising, etc. a bba-used to give you a bit of everything in business, yet a lot of nothing-no real major that is-- check with some business schools and see what they have to offer, and what their suggestions might be- also talk to some people in mgmt. and see what they suggest worked for them, or what they would do, if they could do it over again--changes ?? see if you can get a mgmt mentor who is success full to guide you..that would be great-- i am a retired Independent Insurance Broker for life & health insurance, and also a retired  CPA, CFP, & LUTCF..if i can be of further help to you--holler back at me--good luck to you...

Depends on the specific use of the software. If you want to design games, you'll need to know graphics engineering and several computer languages. If you want to design business software, an accounting and finance background would help.\n\nIn general, you want to study:\n\nComputer science sequence.\nComputer engineering sequence.\nLinear algebra (this is actually fun)\nCalculus I, II and III (IV if your school is on a quarter system, such as at Cornell College or North Central College)\nDifferential equations.\nSimulacra and Simulacrum.\nLogic.\n\nYes, it's math intensive, but worth it. Start the math in high school (if you're not there already) by taking college algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, and even AP Calculus or Calc AB/BC if your school offers it.\n\nAlso, you can take a CLEP test or AP test to test out of some of your college classes in order to let you have more time to focus on software design.\n\nGood luck!

Market analyst comes to mind.  Every company has an entire marketing / business development division dedicated to this stuff.  They're the ones who figure out where best to put money to grow the business.\n\nNot sure what the education path is for the job -- probably an MBA helps, and a business background.  And you have to get some job experience somewhere.

Without a list of the courses adn content, I'm not sure what you're prepared for.\nHowever, check out job postings on CareerBuilder.com, etc. for Business Analysts. You might fit into that category, especially business processes. I'm assuming business systems wouldn't be appropriate right out of school.\nAlso, the IT Audit field is expanding; you may find a niche there.\n\nSpend hours looking at career sites and looking for published articles related to business analysis, process analysis and improvement. Talk to the placement people where you are--they might actually be able to help. Or at least provide material for sick jokes later.
