VERY Confused about college!! Please help?!?!?

Question

Ok so here is what all i want to take in college:

Business------ (intended major as of now)
English------- (intended minor as of now)
Criminal Justice-------(possibly considering this as a minor)
Biology
Computer Science
Accounting--------(possibly considering this as a minor)
Human resources
Marketing/Managment-------(possibly considering this as a minor)

So how do i go about this? Is it possible to get a BA in all of these areas? If so, how long will it take? PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Most of my students have only one major and find that enough. I do know many, though, who have a minor. My daughter had 21 credits when she started her freshman year from taking classes ahead. She has a double major. Most people with a double major take 4.5 to 5 yrs. to graduate.

I asked my husband, who works for IBM, what he thought. He said a business major with a minor in English would be great, since many of the people who work for him aren't very good writers. (Be sure to take Technical Writing.) Usually Business majors choose a field of study, such as Marketing or Management.

The other classes that interest you could be the ones you take for your general education requirements. You could also take classes in the summer so you can explore your interests.

Good luck and enjoy learning!

Answer 2

Given your interests you should not declare a major immediately. Usually schools wont let you anyways. Once you do declare, you will probably want to do Business Undecided. That means that you enter the business school of your university, but you don't choose which major you want. Usually there are a few options within the business schools (marketing, accounting, finance, international business, supply chain management, etc) How long? as long as you get one major and one minor, you shouldn't be in school any longer than 4 years. Adding other minors though could keep you longer. Also, if you tend to party, that could keep you longer (Which isn't a horrible thing either).

Answer 3

i would recommend starting at a community college and speaking with a counselor at the school to see if you can combine the areas you are interested in, into the general education requirements that you will need in order to receive a bachelors degree at a 4 year university (you would transfer...) that way you could get these classes under your belt while being able to see if it's something you'd be interested in getting a degree in. it sounds like a lot of the stuff you're interested in is business related. once you declare a major (say, it's business) there will still be certain classes you have to take, so you might be able to take some marketing & human resources classes that will go toward your major requirements -- good luck!!

Answer 4

You get a bachelors degree for the field in which you major. Some people do a double major, so in effect they get two degrees, but unless you want to spend 20 more years in school you can't get a bachelors in all of them.

Here's my advice. Go to a larger college or university which has decent offerings in all these areas. In your first three or four semesters take basic classes in all of these. That will help you decide what you're truly interested in.

Answer 5

dude, you would pass out if you try getting a BA in all these areas ... most you could do is a dual degree, for instance Business will go well with accounting, HR will go well with management, but my suggestion would be to keep an open mind for the first 2 semesters, take courses that you are interested in, trust me you will figure out by the first year ... i hope i've not confused you more ... good luck !

Answer 6

you can get BA in all the subjects but it will take you your whole life and $ half a millions. Is this what you are getting at?
