Week 7: 10/11/22 — Transfer Planning: Choose a major
Deciding on a major is easier, once you have determined your career goals. However, you will need to consider two questions:
- What is the appropriate major at the four-year college to prepare me for my chosen career path?
- What is the corresponding Hudson Valley major that will maximize transfer of credits into the four-year program of choice?
Sometimes, the answers to these questions are not as obvious as they would seem.
For example: Consider a student who wants to pursue a bachelor degree in accounting. One might assume that HVCC’s Accounting A.A.S. program would be the appropriate major. However, in most cases, it is our Business Administration A.S. program that would be the best choice, since this program is specifically designed for transfer purposes. In general, graduating with this degree will assure junior status at a four-year college, regardless of the desired business emphasis (e.g., accounting, marketing, management, or finance). In contrast, our Accounting A.A.S. program is primarily intended for students who are seeking an entry level position in the accounting field.
