[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were talking about an Ivy vs. someplace like Towson, I’d say go for the bigger overall name, but this is Wisconsin and Indiana, which are probably more alike than they are different. If he’s leaning towards the business major, I’d go to Indiana. If he’s leaning more econ, I’d choose Wisconsin. If he changes his mind, both schools are strong enough in both areas that it shouldn’t make a difference.[/quote]

Wisconsin is ranked 11th for economics with a very distinguished history. Indiana is in the 50s.[/quote]

This is practically true for every program at Wisconsin vs Indiana. Rich people on here don't like that Wisconsin has good departments, [b]while also having a lot of middle class students. [/b]So they resort to claiming the schools are the same.[/quote]

What in the world are you talking about, lol?  Do you actually think Indiana doesn’t have middle class students??

Wisconsin is a great school and strong in many areas.  Indiana is also a very good school—not as highly ranked overall, but still stronger in some areas than Wisconsin.  Both are big Midwestern universities in terrific college towns, with a lot of school spirit. It’s hard to go wrong either way.  I would say the much same thing if we were talking about schools like Ohio State or Purdue.

+1 These schools are both excellent and far more similar than different with large business schools. Choose what you like better for a variety of reasons.

To me the school vs program consideration is a bigger factor if you are looking for a smaller major. I'd want to probe how the resources for each program differ, how many students and faculty in that major, what kinds of capstone projects are students doing, etc.
