Many folks realize that if they want to move up into management in the Corporation they are currently working at, they’re going to need a business degree, and not just a regular business degree, an upper division business degree. The question is which continuing education business degree should you choose, and if you aren’t quite sure which business courses should you take now, which you can apply later to an MBA – it gets complicated fast.
If you are just starting out with your continuing education, and considering some night school classes, I recommend prior to the semester you are wishing to enter that you go down to the admissions office and ask to sit in a few of the classes of the various possibilities which you have discovered at a for-profit college, or community college first.
You need to know what you’re getting into, for instance if you take a business statistics class, or an accounting class there might be math or other things that you are not quite good at, and it would severely affect your grade, or cause you to struggle in the class just to keep up with the coursework. This is why it’s important take prerequisite classes if you need to. One of the worst things that can happen in a continuing education degree program is to get several instructors who speak monotone, or don’t have their heart into the teaching.
In this case it’s very easy to lose interest in the subject, and going to the night school classes at all. Many students drop out of these college courses because it is too monotonous and there are other things they’d rather be doing, and when you’re an adult, you don’t have your parents there telling you, that you must complete the course, so you don’t. Indeed, before you begin I hope you’ll please consider all this.
