I have a Business Management degree and have worked at a non-profit. My choices were not as broad as yours, but here is what I did. I choose general management. Choices were supply chain, general, finance and one other that I can't remember. I went back later on and got a second degree in marketing. Marketing really helped me because all business basics are covered but marketing is always necessary in whatever you do. You have to be able to keep your client happy, you have to be able to attract them into doing business with you. My second degree has actually been favorably looked upon. Maybe you can try something like that.

As to whether it is necessary to have the degree, the answer is no. The only time it is truly necessary to have a degree is when you wish to be hired by an existing company that requires a degree, or when you wish to be credentialed for for some practice that requires a degree, such as medicine or engineering.

The things you should get from the degree include business computing skills, business communication, a bit of human resources, possibly a good internship, and maybe some other things like marketing and job seeking skills. I would get ahold of their catalog and read the course description for every course in the curriculum. If the descriptions sound like things that could be useful to you then you might give it a shot.

Alternatively, you might just take only the classes you're most interested in. It's likely that the community college offers a one year certificate with many of the same courses, so you might think of doing that instead.

I will offer one caveat – what if your plan doesn't work out and you decide you'd be better off with a bachelors or masters degree, like an MBA or MBF? The problem with the degree you're considering is that it is probably not a good choice should you decide to try to transfer. If you think you may eventually be interested in a four year degree or beyond, you might look into your community college's general studies curriculum. Also, check out to see whether this college has a career center. Those folks should be able to help you out. If not, speak to an advisor from the business program.

Good luck!

All business associate degree will give you a foundation in business management including accounting, marketing, sales economics etc…
When you pick a focus like marketing, human resources etc… you will then take 3-5 courses that go deeper into that concentration.

A business management concentration will go deeper into managing people (HR), processes (IT, operations), money (finance/accounting) ..All the knowledge one would need to Supervise and manage a business as a whole.

A marketing management concentrartion will go deeper into educating tthe public about a company's products and persuading them to buy those products. You will learn more about sales, advertising, public relations, consumer behavior and media.
