[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at universities with undergraduate business schools, economics is the major for those that couldn't get into the undergraduate business schools. So the cohort is inherently weaker.

Yes, business is a selective major at some schools, but not at others.

UVA is weird, because they have the McIntyre school for undergrad business, and Darden for graduate business.  Maybe that gives undergrads a cozier environment. "All the Ivies" do not have a superior business curriculum, because most Ivy League schools do not offer undergrad business.

Some people think it is a waste of money to plan for a two-year M.B.A. when you can develop some finance careers with only a bachelors.  I think it is a waste to plan an undergrad education around a profession, because a student can easily change his mind.  Instead, choose a college that offers many opportunities.  If you want to go into business, [b]then you can get a modern one-year specialty masters instead of an expensive M.B.A.

One-year "business" masters programs don't replace/supplant the MBA at all - grads of these programs compete with undergrads for jobs, not MBAs.  They exist for kids who struck out at OCR during college.[/quote]
