<p>If one is in undergrad b-schooh and wants to have an option for a law school, what would be the optimal combination of majors to pursue? </p>
<p>1) Accounting(BS/MS) + Finance(BS) : 4 and 1/2 years to complete.
2) Accounting(BS) + Finance(BS) : 4 years to complete.
3) Economics(BS) + Finance(BS) : 4 years to complete.</p>
<p>Combination 1) might make it a little harder for one to keep up good GPA
(more credits to take and competition with grad students)</p>
<p>All of three combinations seem nice but what would be an optimal way to go?</p>
<p>Do people actually go to law school after majoring in accounting??
(in that sense, wouldn't it be better to pursue economics?)</p>
<p>What are some opportunities for these three different combinations?</p>
<p>Sp1212 is only partially right. Law school would certainly help if you want to practice tax. However, it would also be good if you want criminal law, or estate law or a the legal equivilent of financial planning called, “Elder Law” or you want something in law that might not be allied to your accounting background.</p>
<p>What about accounting and econ? Accounting would help you out in the areas that taxguy mentioned, plus, econ is a great major for law school and will give you a good view of some of the theories in business.</p>
<p>You can have any major and go to law school. Accounting would be the best out of those because (in general) it gives you the best employment opportunities after undergrad. I wouldn’t focus on which major is best for law school, because you could justify about anything if you really wanted to. If you are interested in the types of law that taxguy mentioned then go for accounting. If you aren’t major in whatever fits your interests and career goals best.</p>
<p>I’m going to an undergrad business school next year, and I’m quite interested in Corporate Finance. Would it be better, or even necessary to go to a graduate business school or law school after graduation? I know neither is required for Corporate Finance, but will going to either be better for job placement/salary?</p>
