HotCarl Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ohio University offer's a 4 year program with CSCC but its called a 'Bachelor of technical & Applied studies" not a "Bachelor of Science" (in whichever field/major your in) is this a huge difference? Would a hiring manager look down on this? I'm looking into it b/c I've made it this far without any student loan debt paying everything myself, working 40+ hours a week. Going this route would save A LOT of money rather than transferring to OSU. But I also don't want a bullshit degree after all of that. Any advice?

SuBieQT Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm a recruiter and the only reason I would look into it is if you are looking for a career in a competitive field. Some of those "other" bachelors degrees are so broad that it looks like you're taking the easy way around it. Personally, I see the bachelors and the 4 years and I wouldn't look into it. I would definetely put OU instead of CSCC though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It could depend on what the major is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 When I hire people the degree is a tick box. Need degree, you have one, tick! I then ask what you actually know etc... I have a pure business degree, I have never been asked anything about what I did in college or what my degree means to me. Can I do that job, can I work with the team, that's what they always want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definetely put OU instead of CSCC though Sorry if i wasn't clear. It's a degree from OU, the only difference is all of the classes are taken at a site campus (which happens to be on CSCC campus). Similar to graduating from OSU Newark, just without the lifted pickup trucks and farm animals I'm sure (see what i did there? little nerk joke). Anyway, I think this will probably be the direction I want to go in. I've talked to some manager's to see what they look for and its similar to what Akula said.
