I’m enrolling back in college and making a fresh start. I have narrowed my focus to be in the financial world. I’m curious about a few things. I have a friend who is attending the University of Arkansas and she’s going to be a Certified Public Accountant; she said to be a CPA in Arkansas, you need a bachelors in Accounting and Business Administration or a Masters in Accounting; though the two bachelors would take less time. I am thinking about doing that for now, but not sure what I want to do with them. I was thinking of possibly getting an MBA in Business Administration or in Accounting or Finance.

On the other hand, I was thinking of attending Rogers State University and getting a BS in Business Administration and the options would be in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Forensic Accounting, Human Resources Management, Management, Manufacturing Management, and Marketing.

Is there a more clear choice to go with on these? I’m confused. What types of jobs can be opened with these plans? I’m not committed to just any particular job, I was just wanting something in the financial industry because I think it’s exciting. Any idea of salary types these degrees bring?

P.S. Would a clear degree in Finance be a better choice than either? I’ve heard that Finance only is a bit more narrower than the above. Any help is appreciated.

I didn’t mention it, but I would also be attending U of A for the above degree and RSU below for the other. Would either school be better than the other as far as going for the degree and jobs?
