I am planning on doing a major in accounting and a minor in econ/ finance. Which school would afford me the better opportunity assuming money is not part of the equation. Ideally I would like to go into banking. I currently have intermediate accounting 1 and 2 done btw
Fordham has a better reputation and is more difficult to get into. Also, being in New York City MIGHT afford you some more contacts. I assume some grads live around and work in NYC, so there might be some opportunity for internships and entry-level jobs once you graduate if you stay in the area.
Thing with Fordham is always to remember that it’s a big Catholic (Jesuit) university. Nothing wrong with that of course, but if you are not Catholic, socially you MIGHT feel left out. Lots of non-Catholics there too, but Catholics are for sure drawn to that school. If that’s not an issue for you, then Fordham is your school of these two in my opinion.
