Is a minor in Information Systems or Data Science better?

I am currently pursuing a Business Administration degree and am interested in marketing, social media, and design, but I also want to minor in something that will allow me to gain more skills and job opportunities. Should I major in information systems/ data science with a minor in marketing or the other way around? Which will allow me to have access to a bigger range of jobs that are in demand.

Hi, if I study information systems, can I get a CPA in accounting or do I have to do accounting by itself? Is there a huge advantage by choosing accounting and getting CPA over doing information systems for 4 years?

I am more interested in information systems than accounting (I think)

Do you have tips for me in studying Information Systems?

I decided to go with Information Systems but what should I start first? Take a course about digital marketing? do coding python? What should be the first step in diving into IS? I want to be more on the business side rather than the tech side. #business #tech #informationsystems #IS #step

Should I do a dual degree or a double minor?

I'm a freshman in college. At the moment, I am majoring in information systems. I'm thinking of a future career in data science, more specifically as a data scientist. Though, as a freshman, this is subject to change. I was thinking of doing a dual degree in data science. But another option is to minor in statistics and computer science. P.S I already have my AA degree. Update - I have since graduated. My degree is in Information Systems and I minored in communications studies. I am an data analyst at the moment #datascience #computer-science #college #minor #techonolgy #informationsystems #dualdegree #college-advice #statisics

Would is be smart for me to double major in finance and information systems, and get a master's in finance? If, so what career opportunities will I have?

I'm a senior, and by the time I graduate high school, I will have an AA degree. I'm thinking of a career in fintech, but I'm not sure. I do want to study finance, and I'm interested in technology. Update- I have since graduated from college . My degree is in information systems , but I ended up minoring in communications. At the moment, I am an early data analyst at a non-profit. Maybe fintech is still in the future, but I am focusing on building my impersonal and technical skills. #major #college #high-school #career #finance #informationSystems #technology #doublemajor #masters

What are the usual degree requirements of a Web Designer and Developer

I am starting school at a local community college this fall, and after long deliberation, have decided that I want to do web design/development, since I have taken both AP Art and AP Computer Science Principles, and they both ended up being two of my favorite classes, and have given me enough design and code experience to make me feel comfortable enough to want to pursue it as a career. I've decided I want to first off, start with an associates degree, as my college offers an AAAS in Graphics/Web Development. It offers two tracks for the degree, and I have actually decided to take both tracks and some extra Java classes since I have all of my general education requirements completed from AP courses. All around, the program itself along with the extra classes I plan to take I feel will be great in preparing me for a job with just an associates degree. BUT- I've done a lot of "job research" (I've googled web designer and web developer jobs) and I feel as if a lot of them require a bachelors degree in either computer science or graphic design. I don't really know if I want to go for a full-blown bachelors, considering I want to go into as little student debt as possible, and being financially independent of my parents is a really big goal for me Will an associates degree prepare me fully for a web design/development job? Will there be jobs for me, if I only pursue an associates? Also, any other career advice that is related would be super helpful. #graphic-design #college #webdesign #webdeveloper #webdevelopment #informationsystems #design #web-design #web-designer #associates-degree #design #graphic-design
