I'll be going to University of South Florida soon, and have to choose between two degrees, I want to head into general Server (IT) administration for a small / medium business. Setting up computers, imaging, managing file servers / logon servers /etc.

I have two degrees I'm currently choosing between:
- BSAS hxxp://www.poly.usf.edu/Academics/AppliedAS/BSAS-IT/Program_of_Study.html
- BSIT hxxp://www.poly.usf.edu/IT/
I like the idea of a BSAS because it'll get me out sooner, and then I can work on a few certifications to "match" the BSIT...
I'm just worried companies will look at that as a "lesser" degree to a BSIT (or even a CS degree.)
What are your guys' thoughts on these two degrees? The BSIT has more math, which I still have about 2 more classes to go through (I'll be heading to USF this August.) while the BSIT doesn't require those 2 extra math classes.
I keep on hearing from people that when they hire you for your first job, they don't care which degree you have, as long as it's relevant and it's a 4-year degree, is this true?
