simplyn2deep | more about college!

first things first: YA'LL! I just submitted my application for my associate degree!

It will be my second one, but this one is with the intention of transferring to a university!

I have like 6 or 7 months to decide on the universities I want to apply to.

More work in finding the right business school for me. I'm thinking Healthcare Management or Hospitality (so that I can put my first associate's degree to use - it's in Travel/Tourism).

Next, my JC/CC has this agreement with MOST Cal State Universities in California that any transferring student with their AS/AA degree from that college, has a "guaranteed spot" whatever Cal State University they apply to. What this "guaranteed spot" means, to my understanding, is that they have priority over other students who are transferring in.

Cool. This helps me with deciding which universities I want to apply to...it also helps me decide my concentration for my bachelor's degree.

Yes, I want Business Administration, but what concentration? Each of the Cal States that has a business administration program offers something different. I wish they all offered the same things, but *shrug*

This is what I have in mind, so far (thanks to a friend who worked admissions at USC, she convinced me to look at universities in other states that had good business schools)

Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri
Bachelor's Business Administration Healthcare Management or Organization and Strategic Management

CUNY Baruch College
Bachelor's Business Administration Human Resources Management (Minor in Social Innovation)

Cal State LA
Bachelor's Business Administration Healthcare Administration (later, possibly Master of Science in Healthcare Management) or Human Resource Management or Management

Biola University (online offered)
Bachelor's Business Administration Management

Whittier College
Bachelor's Business Administration (I haven't found if they have any concentrations. I'll find out when I go on a campus tour on Feb 5)

Cal State Fullerton
Bachelor's Business Administration Entertainment and Hospitality Management or General Management or Human Resources Management

University of California - Riverside
Bachelor's Business Administration Management or Operations and Supply Chain Management

Arizona State (online offered)
Bachelor's Business Administration (I haven't found if they have any concentrations.)

Wayne State University
Bachelor's Business Administration Information systems management or Management

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Bachelor's Business Administration Management and Human Resources

Howard University
Bachelor's Business Administration Management or Supply Chain Management or Health Management (but this is in the nursing program, I believe)

That's a lot of schools, right?! I could throw even more caution to the wind and apply to all of them, but I'm thinking realistically and what I can afford out of pocket (getting student loans is likely out bc I still have other ones from when I got scammed by ICDC College).

It would be cool to go out of state, but I don't have the money for a big cross country move, though I might be able to afford moving to Arizona or Michigan (Wayne State).

I have time to think about it. A lot of these schools don't begin accepting applications until August or even October/November.
