[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which business major?  I’m not a fan of General business, management, marketing (especially if lacking math) for undergrad.  Accounting and finance can be ok, depending on the school.  On the Econ major, depends if the student wants a liberal arts education.  And Econ at the top schools is much better than at most schools.  Look for programs where calculus is required for the Econ major.[/quote]

+1. No way would I pay for a "business administration" major, especially at an expensive school.  Way too vague and watered down curriculum. Go for a BS (not a BA) in economics, finance, accounting, etc. The MBA that will inevitably follow is a more generalized program.[/quote]
Some colleges don’t have BS in Econ, so check curriculums and math reqs more than degree types.[/quote]

If a serious business student, I would avoid a school that does not offer a BS in Econ. That is a red flag about potential job outcomes and who recruits there.[/quote]
?? I think you’re just ignorant. 1) a lot of colleges don’t give out BS’s at all 2) some colleges don’t give bachelors of sciences and things that aren’t a science 3) if a school only has a BA, they just advise students to take the math classes for a BS.

You’re actually discounting a lot of elite schools with this strange rule. The top feeders to Econ phds often don’t even have a BS in Econ. [/quote]
