What business classes do you generally take the 3rd and 4th year of your BA?

Question

Im currently going to a 2 year school, getting my Business associates degree with a transfer option, and plan on going to a 4 year school to get my BA, and eventually my MBA. Im taking basic economics, accounting, and business managment classes right now, along with other core english and math classes, but what should i expect on my 3rd and 4th year? What types of classes? I know business classes obviously, but what specifically?

Answer 1

You have to know what your major will be at the 4 year college.  If you are finance you will take upper division finance classes and so on.  I had to take a few computer courses geared towards business also.  I was a marketing major, so I took classes in the different aspects of marketing such as public relations, advertising, and marketing research.  But, it all depends on the major that you choose.  

Answer 2

Business programs will have you take classes in all functional areas, including marketing, finance, HR, IT, etc.  Additionally most school's will have you take some sort of strategic management course as your capstone class.  Those are just the general business requirements.  You will then take in-depth coursework within your concentration area.  For example, if you are an accounting emphasis business major, you will take anywhere from 6-8 upper division accounting classes.  Finally, there may be elective business coursework you are also required to do such as in international business, entrepreneurship, or such.  You're also strongly advised to do an internship (credit awarded) in your area so you can build real experience.
