Choosing a concentration to study in school for business is a lot like picking a dish in a Mexican restaurant. The ingredients are pretty much the same, but each dish comes out a little different. Also keep in mind that most professions in the financial services industry require you to obtain post graduate professional licensing that is specific to your career anyway. Consider your graduate degree as a prerequisite to your career. The best way to figure what to to study is to think about what you want to do after you graduate. Here is my recommendation. Go to careerbuilder.com or yahoojobs.com and type into the search field some different careers that you may be considering. For example type in ‘accountant’ and then look and see what each company requires to be hired on as an accountant.

That should answer your question.

An MBA is probably the most recognized degree in the industry due to the broad scope of courses required to obtain one.

Good luck.

i am studing the same and I am studing for a BA Business with the course it allows us to study the units like accounting , finance and IT and the others listed above so if its the same for you i would go with a general as you still can take the units which attract your attention the most and still have lots of different areas. I do general and do the complusary subjects but chose marketing, IT and HR subjects

finance and accounting majors are in high demand in terms of the job market. however, general business, business administration, and management are the most versatile, so you will have a wider range of prospective jobs.

I think if you understand accounting, then everything else in the business world makes more sense. Accounting.
