<p>i recently was admitted to this school for economics, but it wasn’t for the W.P carey business school. it was for the college of liberal arts and sciences. what exactly is the college of liberal arts and sciences? should i go there ? is it bad? im trying to go to grad school after, any help would be amazing as i have been offered acceptance to other schools</p>
<p>It is the division where liberal arts and sciences majors are in:
<a href=“http://clas.asu.edu/current-students/academic-programs/majors”>http://clas.asu.edu/current-students/academic-programs/majors</a></p>
<p>@ucbalumnus im aware of that, im asking how is it diffrent from W.P carey </p>
<p>You major in economics or some other liberal arts/science major instead of business.</p>
<p>so does that mean i would be getting a liberal arts degree? is that something that is bad in the business world?</p>
<p>Yes. However, plenty of liberal arts majors gain employment in businesses (economics is often seen as an alternative business major by both students and employers).</p>
<p>ive been accepted to
cal state la for business administration
cal state northridge for communication
humboldt for business admin
and cal poly pomona for business admin too</p>
<p>in your opinion which would be the best school to go to?</p>
<p>Stay In-State for your undergraduate at Cal State, do well , get into a good MBA program that’s the best route. ASU is not really competitive for undergrad Econ, in business you NEED an MBA, find the best route for you to get one and for me, that’s In-State Undergrad and an MBA from a good school, say East Coast (based on your being in Cal) either BU, Babson or NYU or the like.</p>
<p>Did you apply to ASU WP Carey, but instead got offered Economics in LAS? Is economics something you want to study, or are you primarily interested in business administration? There is an economics major in WP Carey as well, but admissions are more competitive to get into WP Carey</p>
<p>@englishman i am definitely going for an MBA after i graduate, but economics seems like something i would be more interested in. And it to be honest cal state LA’s campus is terrible, its in the heart of east los angeles. besides wouldnt it be seen better by employers if i have a degree in econ from asu? versus a ba from cal state la??</p>
<p>@jccsmom yeah i didnt get in for WP carey </p>
<p>ASU is very well recruited by major companies, so you would have that advantage in addition to the well-known name. </p>
<p>@jccsmom thank you thats what i have heard, and i know its way more expensive since im out of state, but my parents are paying for everything so its not a problem. do you think ASU is the best choice out of all the schools ive been accepted to?</p>
<p>Are they the only schools you have been accepted to?, it doesn’t really matter what your undergrad is for Business school, so Econ is good, but Accounting/Finance/Comms or other is OK. Go where you think you’ll be happiest and fit in the best, if that’s OOS Arizona, fine but IN-State is OK, UC’s are better I guess than CSU, but look at University of Arizona (UofA), ALOT of Cal students (about 10% 0f ALL students 4000+) attend UofA, the Eller School Econ is V Good, I did Ex-ed there and W.P.Carey and both were good. Have you visited Tempe?</p>
<p>@englishman well i also got into cal maritime for business and now im just waiting on cal poly pomona with there answer for business as well, ive been to tempe before and it seems like it would be pretty fun. i just want to go somewhere were if i dont end up going to get my mba i will make the most amount of money out of college</p>
<p>To your last point, you’ll make most money out of college being employed in CA not AZ, so if money/salary is a key driver, I suggest you stay inState CA and do college, CA employers will value CA Schools above ASU.</p>
<p>@englishmann</p>
<p>that makes no sense
i have friends who went to universities all over the united state and they are all employed and making great money</p>
<p>i just saw your posts in the SB1062-Oh dear Arizona! thread
why are you so against ASU?</p>
<p>Nothing against ASU, you will earn more after undergrad business major in CA than AZ, I work in AZ and recruit for my employer in AZ and the western states. </p>
<p>Truth is we have issues in AZ, ASU like all State Universities have their own foibles and best bits, some have more or less of each. My current feeling and that’s just my impression with college age kids, is there is a bias based on perception of all state colleges especially in AZ. I have staff undergrads from ASU and elsewhere, nothing against any of them, but where you go to college, what you do there and how you come prepared to an employer is often based on biases and norms and impressions, you have to learn to live with those. </p>
<p>There has been some bone-headed legislature bills in AZ recently SB1062 and SB1070 to name but two, my impression from what my peers at my employer elsewhere in the country are this, ‘Whats in the water in AZ’ and do we want to continue to recruit there!. We currently recruit at ASU and UofA in AZ, a few in Ca, namely Cal, UCLA, USC and in Illinois at UofC and Northwestern and at BU and Northeastern, most of our hires are now in CA or ILL, not from ASU. I do NOT promote hires from ASU currently.</p>
<p>Englishman - you claim to teach at WP Carey in another post yet you consistently speak negatively about ASU. I really think you are giving rather biased information about ASU that is not very helpful to many. </p>
<p>I do teach as an adjunct at ASU and I do think its wise for all students and family to have enough facts and knowledge to make a wise and informed choice for college, where they spend 4 years or more of their life and where they will graduate from, it matters ALOT and obviously I live in Tempe, AZ. </p>
<p>Based on my knowledge, so yes, that is biased, based on my experiences and knowledge.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Biased indeed! Sounds like you have taken it upon yourself to be a one-man crusade against ASU students regardless of their qualifications. Talk about irrational!</p>
