2nd college degree or certificate online in finance?
Cafe20 asked:
Hi, I wound up getting a liberal arts degree (I won’t specify the degree) just to stick it through. I don’t really care for it and am not interested in pursuing a masters or similar with my current degree. But I am interested in a 2nd degree. Please don’t tell me to get an MBA because I have no business or financial background whatsoever so I have no knowledge at all in that area. I currently do have a full time job that I like and it is kind of like data entry. It’s not related to my major obviously but I know that my degree is what got me the job plus other experience on my resume. I am surrounded by people in the financial/accounting areas though I have no knowledge of what those people do. I would like to learn and understand that stuff. So I really became interested in a finance degree.

I know 2nd degree programs exist at universities where you only have to take the courses for your major because the rest transfers. But is there any really good schools that you know of for this in the New York City area? Any cheap though real name hard work colleges? Is there any way that I could take it all online? Or is there some kind of certificate that I could get instead? Anyone have experience with the New School in NYC?
I work long days so I could really only fit in a class like on a Saturday, plus I need my personal time.

I have my B.A. in English and am going back for my master’s in accounting this year. I have never taken a business or accounting class in college, but it is something that I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve been accepted into the program, but because I have a B.A. I need to take 1 year of prerequisite business and accounting classes, then finish my 1 year for my master’s degree (2 years total). You can definitely get your MBA or MS if you want to, you just need to take some prerequisites first. But you can be accepted into the program without them. A certificate would get you no where. I live in Chicago so I’m not sure about NY schools, but do research on their graduate programs. I’m sure there is something.
