What business/engineering courses should I take

What business/engineering courses should I take?
I am going to be a freshman at UMass Dartmouth next year and I have some questions about what types of classes I should take because I have no idea whatsoever. I'm in the business school, so I'd major in some business thing. I'm really interested in doing something with cars, so I was thinking mechanical engineering. I just want to take the right classes in business and engineering so I can find decent jobs out of college. Thanks for any help.

If you are just a Freshman, you will likely be taking your general education classes - English, Science, Math, History, etc. Once you declare your major - your college will have a set curriculum of classes for you to take. BTW - I'm pretty sure mechanical engineering and business are in two unrelated departments. They both, however, offer good job prospects out of college.


2
Business and Engineering are two completely unrelated faculties, so you need to make up your mind real soon, or you'll be stuck in university longer than expected, because no courses in business or engineering coincide with each other, other than the general English and Math (if you're lucky - Business Math and Engineering Calculus are very different). Both degrees will take 4 years to complete, but I highly doubt you'll be able to do a double major in both, seeing as they are so different. So right now, you need to ask yourself which you're most interested in and pursue that. Both will provide you with a decent job/career after your graduate, seeing as they're both in demand

You can study anything. My BIL has his undergrad in Chemistry and just completed his MBA. He landed an awesome job with an awesome salary and just turned down a job offer for president at a company.

Absolutely. MBA programs prefer science students to commerce students. Stay with science and concentrate on getting good grades so that you can get into the best schools when the time comes. Look at the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Stanford is actually located in Northern California, and has much prestige to its name, as both their academics as well as their students are top-notch. Unless one has near-perfect grades/test scores and a great deal of extracurriculars (to prove that they are well-rounded), their chances are slim to none.

Can I deduct courses I take as a business expense

Can I deduct courses I take as a business expense?
I'm looking to take some computer courses in the fall to gain some additional experience in web design, which will hopefully make me more interesting to potential employers and/or expand my freelance capabilities. Is this something that I can write off as a business expense and is there a limit to how much I can spend on these courses?

No, sorry. Only classes required by your employer are deductible.


2
no, because the are not required for you to keep your job.

I think the previous answers are misguided. I'm not sure what it would be classified as on your schedule C if its your business. But on the 1040 personal return, you can deduct classes from an accredited college. There are some tax credits you might have available too, but be careful there, because there is a type of credit that you can only use twice.


4
If you aren't currently a web designer, no they aren't deductible. If you are, then maybe but not enough info to tell.


5
I would say that any courses you take to enhance your business skills are tax deductible (as professional education expense) if you are self employed. Any course that helps you maintain or gain increased knowledge in your career is tax deductible also as an employee, I believe. Check with your tax preparer and also ask about using the course expense as it relates to job search/marketability expense.


6
if you can itemize, yes you can deduct education expenses to improve your current employment but it is not a business expense if you are not operating a business, if you are, yes, the courses to improve your skills would be deductible


7
No. Yes, only if the courses are for improving your skill in your existing business.
