What's better to minor in: Spanish or Business Administration? |
I'm going to be pursuing a bachelors in Nursing and I want to compliment it with a minor- either Spanish or Business Administration with a focus in management. I currently am fluent in Spanish , but not fluent in Spanish medical terminology. I did receive a 5 on the AP Spanish language exam, and although I'd be starting in the advance Spanish courses I really don't feel they'd be too difficult and probably would boost my GPA. On the other hand I do plan on becoming a supervisor or head nurse and feel that maybe a minor in B.A with a focus in management might make me a stronger candidate, although I hear that most supervisors in the Nursing field are chosen by seniorority and experience and NOT by minors/gpa/academic background. Which choice do you think gives me the most benefits and growth potential both career/financially and academically (GPA/masters degree?) If you're in the US and plan on staying here, Spanish is the way to go. You have no idea how valuable it is to be able to speak to a patient in their language--it decreases the amount of misunderstanding and mistakes, plus it makes you MUCH more valuable to your employer. If you're interested in both minor, do them both if you have time for it. It's surprisingly easy to have two. Most people recognize that business classes are easy classes and worth very little. You will learn more and be more valuable with a medical fluency in Spanish--go for that. Source(s): mom works in medical field--she wishes she spoke Spanish If you're already fluent in Spanish, then the biz admin minor will make you more attractive for promotions. do the BA and keep taking Spanish classes. so u have a better chance of becoming a supervisor with both. u can incorporate in ur resume that u are fluent in spanish that u dream in that language. no big deal. in USA the spanish thing is getting bigger and bigger, in Europe having a second language is common and necessary. dono about other parts of the world. good luck |
