Switching business discipline to Science Discipline

by AsadA969 Thu Feb 19, 2015 5:47 am

I had a dream to study in Engineering or Technology from my childhood. So for that reason I would take ‘mathematics’ as a compulsory subject when I was a 16 yrs old student. In addition, I have completed the primary level in Physics, Chemistry, and calculus part-1 and part-2. But destiny does not permit me to study with science in bachelor. I’ve wasted 4 yrs from my life towards completing BBA, which holds 123 credits. I did not think that I had to study with business discipline. Business discipline did not attract me for a single day. After that, I’ve taken preparation on GMAT towards studying MBA on Finance for many more days and I hope that I’ll be able to get 700+ in GMAT. To be honest, I do not get any taste in business study and I’ve no intention to study in business discipline in future. So, I want to study bachelor or masters on engineering/technology and finally settle in United States of America by having a good job.
I’ve some questions to Manhattan Instructor regarding the matter.
1) If there is an option to study for bachelor or masters on engineering/technology which department (i.e., IT, Computer Science or something like that) should I choose? I mean, which subject has demand in USA?
2) As far I know, I should have SAT score in order to study in Bachelor of Science in USA but as I’ve completed my bachelor degree with BBA, will it work if I take GMAT or GRE?
3) Is there any chance to reject VISA if I apply for BSc (Bachelor of Science)?
4) Finally, will it be wise decision to switch Science from Business Discipline?
In addition, I’ve 4 yrs work experiences in accounts and finance department in a private organization.
Thanks.

Hi there,

It sounds like you may wish to speak with careers offices and counselors at some universities, perhaps in graduate studies, and ask them these questions....you could also read up on articles and rankings and info at http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... te-schools for example.

If you already have a bachelors I would think you'd next aim for a masters (vs another bachelors) in most cases.... so a GRE may be the best exam to take. In terms of what to study that is a very personal decision.... you have to do some career research and see where you see yourself!! See if you can speak to people (and also recruiters) in roles you may be interested in and get their feedback; even go and observe; do informational interviews etc.

Lots to consider! Good luck!
