USC vs. Wisconsin

[Anonymous]

Any thoughts? For a prospective business major

Well, now you know what kind of "students" USC admits.

Already admitted?
Costs?

USC is ranked higher than Wisconsin for undergrad Business. Also, many more job opportunities, especially on the West coast, with USC degree than with Wisconsin degree.

USC alums have a hell of a network in California. Wisconsin is always emphasizing that it has the most alumni among fortune 500 CEOs.

Real Estate specifically at Wisconsin is better, but both schools have good programs.

Frankly, Wharton has the best real estate specialty (even at MBA level) but how many would be interested in that and what is the size of the job market?

Undergrad business rankings don’t matter much

Look at all private-sector related programs as one combined magnet (or anti-magnet) for job placement and also grad/prof'l school placement. Then also look at the specialized programs, standing alone. No way does USC compare to Wisco; Wisco is better by essentially any measure except the weather.

Wisco.

Who calls it that? Certainly no one who attended with me. The school is called Madison.

You're showing your age. I have a HS senior and all the kids call it Wisco these days. Took me a while to adjust.

Why would someone study real estate in college? The people I know who do it picked it up with little effort years after college. Just curious if your prospects are different if studying it in college (or MBA).

A senior in NOVA, or out there? I still have friends on faculty there, and no one ever said that word.

But yes, I am old.

They can get the equivalent of an MBA but as an undergrad. Many then go to Chicago, Milwaukee or Minneapolis for professional training before going to other cities.
