Kenyth Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So, I'm finally at a point in life where I get a 4 year degree or I stagnate. That simple. The question was, where do I go and who gives me the best deal for that piece of paper and credit transfer from past endeavors. There were no ideal situations. Computer Science is my degree of choice and it simply isn't available anywhere that would take all my credits from 18 years ago, my ACE military and certification transcipt, etc. Basically, I could get an Orginizational Management degree from Bethel College starting as a junior. I'll be done by 2010 for a quite reasonable amount easily covered by benefits. Trying for a CS degree from IU in South Bend would require a lot more time and money. I thought the smart thing was to get the OM degree, then use it to get a CS degree after that. IU will take the Bethel degree. Of course the problem with that is that there is a maximum of 90 hours I can transfer to a CS degree at IUSB. The Bethel degree will make me competitive in a short time, but won't be in a preferred major for my profession. I already have plenty of experience in my profession, and management is the next level though. What to do huh? Most people advised me to go the cheaper shorter route to the OM degree and worry about anything else afterwards. What do you all think? Is having the paper sooner more important, or having it in a more closely related major? Link to post Share on other sites
