[/quote]

You could say that about virtually any major.  Biochemistry is vocational and so is a foreign language.[/quote]

Biochem is a field of science study and research. You know, to gain knowledge and then more knowledge to add to prior knowledge.
Foreign language is similar and expands into literature and history.

Business doesn't have that sort of academic focus in the study and advancement of its own knowledge. It is kind of like accounting.
Unless one is in it to study topics like organizational behavior or it's ilk, it is has a vocational end game.
Top schools don't want to be known as vocational classrooms. They want to be known for their stellar research, to be in the forefront of academia and to produce students who will carry their torch forward.
If you want a business degree, there are plenty of ads for local schools like, Monroe, Berkeley and Touro colleges on the NYC subways that offer those degrees alongside degrees in administrative assistance.[/quote]

You could argue that business is a field of study and research.  It often includes numerous academic departments and requires analytical, statistical, and historical knowledge.  It sounds foolish to say biochemistry is any more academic than business.[/quote]
