[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the choice is between econ/some other degree at a tippy top school without a business major vs. top UG business school (say, econ at Yale vs. business at Michigan Ross, econ at U Chicago vs. ug business at USC Marshall) you are likely better off going with the former. But if your school of choice DOES have a business school, major.in.business. The recruiting opportunities coming out of say, Michigan Ross or Texas McCombs or Berkeley Haas or NYU Stern vs. majoring in econ in the college of liberal arts/arts and sciences aren't even in the same stratosphere. In fact, at my alma mater (Penn State), economics is more or less known as what you major in if you don't get into Smeal (business school). [/quote]

Yes, that's because you went to Penn State.[/quote]
ok, name a school where that isn't the case[/quote]

Any T20 with a business school.  PP who was UG business and the son at an ivy is spot on.  Name brand I-banks and consulting recruit from a select number of schools and care less about major.  General industry looking for marketing, prod. Management, accounting, etc recruit regionally from UG business.  So if your DC doesn’t get into a tippy toppy school, a UG business program is the way to go.  But if they do, any major is fine (although internships or jobs during school do count).  [/quote]
Right, that is what I said in my pp. Not sure what going to Penn State has to do with anything.[/quote]
