Top 5 Academic Degrees for Business

There are degrees meant for business, and degrees meant for academics and personal growth; majors founded in specific career choices, and majors founded in broad-end sciences of study. Almost every student agrees that a bachelor of science in business degree is meant for occupational growth, but there are different arguments for the application of a bachelor of arts in English.

If you’re looking for an academic degree that is based on core, fundamental subjects — and not career-motivated curriculum like a masters in healthcare management — this doesn’t mean you need to close the doors on successful careers. The following are 5 academically inclined degrees, based on traditional subjects and sciences, that have application in the business world.

Psychology Degree

A bachelor of arts in psychology is an academically based major based upon a broad-end science that also touches on anthropology, sociology, and biology. While this degree, a student may apply towards future social services and therapy education paths, such as a master in clinical social work or a master in marriage family therapy counseling; or, alternatively, they may begin a business career in departments like sales and human resources. The study of human behavior has several applicable places in business!

Sociology Degree

Like a bachelor of arts in psychology, a bachelor degree in sociology focuses on human behavior and has several applications in the business world, including sales, customer service, and human resources. Sociology also studies cultural and economic patterns in our society, which in turn benefits internationally inclined companies.

Mathematics Degree

A mathematics degree shines in business in an accounting profession. It also helps with engineering-type roles and jobs with complex formulas. Businesses love mathematics degrees, but if business isn’t the right thing for you, it also has its advantages in the education industry.

English Degree

English majors not only have the writing skills needed to fulfill several business positions, they are articulate and communicative; this is an undeniably strong quality in the business field. Being able to communicate needs and qualities in job interviews and reviews is quintessential to succeeding in business, and English majors are the top of the academic ladder on that front.

Physics Degree

Physics degrees can lead to successful careers in the business aspect of the health care industry, the leading industry for job growth in the United States. While a physics student may learn about things not applicable in the slightest to business, such as black holes and subatomic particles, they also learn key skills found in engineering, communications, and electronically inclined careers. Added bonus: some of the most brilliant minds of all time, from Newton to Einstein, studied physics.
