UMBC, UMCP, or Johns Hopkins for Business degree

Anonymous
My son is looking at getting his undergrad in Business. He wants to stay local. I know UM has a good program that is recognized, and Johns Hopkins has a relatively new program. Which would look better on a resume when he graduates? Would his job prospects and salary be any different with Johns Hopkins?

Another option might be Towson, I've heard they have a pretty good business program. UMBC doesn't even have a business program, unfortunately. DS goes there. He has a different major, but wanted to take a few business classes, but there weren't any offered! Very disappointing.

Cp. Hopkins is very expensive.

Doesn't GWU have an undergrad Business program? I know they have an MBA program. Pricey, though.

Can your son get admitted to Hopkins? It is way more selectibpve than the others you,mentioned.

MBA's are a dime a dozen. Start working in or start a business if you are a businessman. Unless you are an accountant .

Unless you go to Harvard and get sucked into the crooked investment banking crew ( who will be hiding for their lives when the whole thing collapses) what are you waiting for? Get out there and start businessing.

oh sorry...you are undergrad.

Go to UMD.... a well rounded education with games to go to, a greek life, and lots of the opposite sex is a good place for a kid to learn how to feed, wash, get along with others and figure what they like and don't like, All good stuff for a developing businessman.

The Hopkins name may be more respected -- but usually only in Health and Science fields. College Park has a well respected business program. If you son loves business and works for a few years, he can apply for an MBA at a higher rated school. For undergrad business degrees, it matters a lot less where he goes to school.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing.
Greek life and girls aren't his focus. He has a girlfriend, hence why he's not going far away, and he's into martial arts, not partying.
