A lot of top schools have undergraduate business programs:
Penn Cornell NYU MIT Michigan Notre Dame Georgetown Berkeley WashU UVA Emory USC Carnegie Mellon Texas Also, Rice just added an undergraduate business school. And Vanderbilt has HOD, which is similar to business. Outside of Cornell, Ivy League schools are a little more traditional and choose to stick to only offering economics degrees. As for recruitment, a business degree from NYU Stern or Berkeley Haas or Georgetown McDonough is valued as much if not more than an econ degree from Brown or Dartmouth or choose your school. But at the really elite levels, an engineering degree is probable more valuable than business/econ degrees from anywhere outside Wharton these days. |

Useless to whom?? It's the opposite. It's more in demand in the real world, and they get better salary right below engineering/cs. |

Are they really though? There are so many pre-finance econ majors at these colleges and intellectuals aren’t found there as much they used to. Friends daughter transferred out of Dartmouth to a top LAC for this reason. |

That’s true. They had a certificate in Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations through 2023 though and still have one for Entrepreneurship. |

| Just want to add that some of the top liberal arts schools have added business as a minor. Columbia, Hopkins, Vandy, etc. These schools need to evolve and respond to customer demand. Many top kids want to study business vs pure econ or math. Business is one of the most competitive majors at top flagships and admission to top undergrad business programs is very desirable and super competitive. I was an ivy liberal arts/humanities nerd but my kid wanted business and is heading to wharton. They had no interest in top schools without business program. Second, an MBA is no longer necessary for this generation. There are different pathways to success vs our generation. |

| Dartmouth does not have undergrad business degree but their MBA school has some courses for undergrads. |

| Because a Business major is not as academic or intellectually curious as Economics or Mathematics. Top schools want scholars. There is a reason Business is so popular. Bc it is easier and less of an academic haul than an academic field of study. |

Brown does have a finance concentration/major…not sure it matters if they have a business school. |
