[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the 25 schools with undergrad business degrees are MIT, Penn, Cornell, Cal, Rice, Notre Dame, Carnegie Mellon, Michigan, UVA, and WashU? Am I missing any school? [/quote]

Yes and my DS is headed to one of the above. He wants to major in a social science that he likes but also wants to pick up a double major in Econ or the business school (maybe Finance specialization), which could clearly be helpful for a career in business.  So the debate is, should he double major in Econ or something within the business school? My inclination is to take advantage of the strong business school. [/quote]

Definitely utilize a strong business program. Also - a master's/5th year isn't necessarily required for Accoutning. To sit for the CPA, you need 150 credits from ANYWHERE, as long as it meets requirements. My oldest works at one of the big 4 and completed the 15 additional credits needed through the firm. Graduated with more than the minimum required, so only had the gap of 15 credits. They offer the program to interns, to be completed before they start full time employment with them. She graduated in May, already at 150 credits, studied for CPA over the summer, took 2 parts and started employment in Sept. [/quote]

He’s not gonna be a CPA though. More likely banking, consulting and asset management [/quote]
