[quote=Anonymous]Some people here are badmouthing undergrad business major.  I say, one can do the same about undergrad any major, even in a top 15 national universities and top 15 liberal arts schools.  Because, even in such programs, the first two years are devoted to general education courses to develop the students to be “well rounded”.  The third year is for foundational courses in the student’s chosen major.  Once the fourth year is dedicated to “second” and “third” level courses in the major.  Mind you, even the “third” level undergrad courses pale in comparison to the first level courses in Master’s program.  As if the dilution and scatter shot course requirements for graduation aren’t enough, many universities insist on a minor to be completed for graduation.  This minor requirement needs 5 to 6 courses to be taken.  At the end, the student may have an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university but will have no significant depth of knowledge in the chosen major. This is a sad reality of American education.  Before anyone badmouths me, let me just say I am talking with some educational credentials- PhD in a hard core engineering and MBA Finance major and varied work experience (non-academic).[/quote]
