[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traditionally, a Business Administration degree has always been looked down upon. But these days, there are quite a few very desirable undergraduate business schools - Penn, NYU, Michigan, Berkeley, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Indiana and a few others. I would not get a business degree from a random school. Typically, people will study Econ with maybe a minor in something else that's relevant. But be mindful that Econ is very math heavy. Most schools, regardless of major, will require a liberal arts core of classes. [/quote]

Past is irrelevant.
Humanities degrees are looked down upon in our times.[/quote]
+1 why do you think LACs are now offering business degrees, and why this degree is usually an impacted major in most of the colleges?

^PP still lives in the past.[/quote]
+1 even the Ivy Leagues are starting to offer more undergraduate business opportunities. Whether that's a new UG business major, an undergrad business minor, a business certificate, the opportunity to take classes within the MBA program...it is clear that there is high demand for business skills and knowledge among both students and the workplace. If you want to work in business (whatever that may look like) and your school has a business program for undergraduates, you should definitely go that route if you are looking to maximize recruiting opportunities. Econ is OK, but at schools with UG business programs, it is definitely seen as a fallback major for students who did not have the chops to get into the b-school. (If you're at a school without an undergrad business program, it is a good choice.)

(Yes, THOSE precious Ivy Leagues are stooping so low as to offer a *gasp* vocational business degree! (/certificate/minor/what have you))[/quote]
