<p>Is anyone familiar with this major? I am planning on applying as a transfer for Applied Economics and Management and was curious to know if this is the major that I want to be in. My preference is plain Business Administration/Management, which I am majoring in right now, but that is not available for undergraduates. I do have a great deal of interest in Economics but from what I have heard this particular major involves a lot of agriculture, which I have no interest in. I will have completed 5 semesters at a different university but I am ok with having to go to Cornell for 4 more semesters but longer than that, I may have some problems. Are there any opinions on my somewhat bizarre situation?</p>

<p>There is no agriculture involved in AEM unless you want to specialize in Agricultural Management.</p>

<p>That’s reassuring. So, the major is exactly what is says then. Thank you very much. Do you think it is difficult to transfer into that major from a different university for the spring semester after having completed 5 semesters? Sorry if I am asking a lot of separate questions.</p>

<p>You mentioned

Look at AEM’s website, they do not offer Business Administration, but they do offer Management, Finance, Marketing, Applied Economics, etc. There are many paths to take.</p>

<p>Regarding your question

Perhaps - you should e-mail them with that specific question. You need someone to go over your courses. Five semesters is a lot. </p>

<p>If you are interested in pure Economics - you might think about applying to CAS and majoring in Econ.
This is the comparison that the CAS website offers:

<p>Essentially if you desire an accredited undergraduate business degree, you should apply to AEM - if you are more interested in business on a macro level you should apply to CAS and major in Econ.</p>

<p>I’m planning on transferring to that same program in the spring. I know I can only transfer 60 credits max but I don’t know if it’s university-wide. Hope this helps.</p>
