Business analytics, Finance, MIS, Accounting are all under Business program.

That's why in general, business program is harder to get in and more competitive.[/quote]

You know, there does exist a general "business major" that will accept anybody. When I say I don't want my child to major in business, I mean I don't want them to major in business. That does not mean I don't want them to pick a major under the business program, like accounting or finance. [/quote]

I think people are assuming you mean BA from a college or university, not the old business degrees that were for people studying stenography, etc.  Some schools only allow majors/concentrations within a business college and a degree is a BBA without a subhead. So, I think people are not answering according to your definition.[/quote]

If a college offers a BBA degree with a concentration in finance, is that degree as marketable  as a finance degree without the BBA ? [/quote]
I say this as a former BBA grad, eons ago:

If they want to go into finance, get a finance BS degree, especially fintech.
