I definitely want to specialize, so that helps tremendously knowing that specializing will help me get more of an edge. I found out that the school I plan on going to has a really strong business element to it, so although it's not an Ivy league school, it is well known in the community for having a good business program.
I definitely am planning on taking some psychology courses, and I'll probably force myself to do sociology again because it will help me to know it, even though I can't stand the subject - it's so general! Maybe it was that way because the course I took had anthropology and psychology in it as well, it's hard to cover so much information without being a bit general. I can't stand anthropology though, it's too much like history for me :wall: What is a PR course? And I think I know what a communications course is, but my head is not connecting the dots on that one right now.

PR = Public Relations

I'd check and make sure that the school you want to go to is relatively strong in a specialization that interests you, too.

Also, AACSB accreditation doesn't hurt. It's very prestigious and is a mark of quality and rigor as far as the curriculum is concerned. AACSB Link

I looked at the AACSB link and it looks like it's a US program. Is there an equivant program in Canada? I don't want to move to the US.

Oh, thank you very much :D There's a couple that are somewhat near home, so if I leave I might be able to visit home. I'll keep that option open, thank you :D
