Out of Texas A&M, University of Texas, Texas Tech, Louisiana State, University of Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida State, University of Florida, and the University of South Carolina, what schools would have the best business programs, best networking, degree value, and post college benefits.
My votes would be UT-A and UF. USC for international business.
Out of these schools probably UF has the best one…A&M is also good. I would steer clear of the others though
UT is far better than UF.
None of these are far better. Especially the composition and strength of the student bodies in the uf and ut grouping.
UT finance has an excellent history of strong success in placing students in highly competitive industries, specifically banking and consulting. Marketing accounting and economics are always going to be more about the student than the school.
University of Texas at Austin is easily the best on the OP’s list. It’s one of the top ten target schools nationally for bulge bracket investment banks.
@Defensor maybe, but how many of the 1,500+ new BBAs each year get that type of job?
@Eeyore123 If you go by College Confidential conventional wisdom, there are 2 types of careers in business: (1) investment banking & (2) changing bills into quarters at the local laundromat.
From you list above, UT Austin, then UF and perhaps Texas A&M.
Depends upon your area of interest in business. University of Texas at Austin is strong in several areas including finance & accounting. Texas A&M also has a strong undergraduate business program.
If you are looking at national recognition and investment banking, there are better schools than the aforementioned schools you suggested. The Ivies that have undergraduate business, Cornell, Penn, etc. non Ivy privates like NYU, MIT, etc. top publics such as UC Berkeley, Univ. of Michigan, etc. are schools which investment banking firms like Goldman Sachs recruit from.
Actually not factual.
UT is actually a top ten placement school. But as I have mentioned almost 100 times. The top ten schools represent only 30 percent of the placements and no school represents more than 4.5 percent. The other 70 percent come from other terrific schools.
It depends on which bank boutique or regional. It is student dependent and connections dependent. Played football at UNC and killed it in the classroom. You’ll find a spot. Top dogs at ND BC etc. yup. UVA Star. Yessir. How about a GTech engineer with chops and the ability to communicate really well. Absolutely.
Texas AM might not be a leader in IB. But then again maybe you want to be the CEO they are all begging to pitch. Well then it’s a good option too. Like tied for number one of Fortune 100 schools for CEO undergrad. Tied with Michigan State.
There’s a lot of paths. Choose one and do as well as you can and see what happens.
Of course the stars at Wharton NYU hpysm are hot commodities. But after those few there’s a lot of business to be done in the world and the world’s hiring.
The OP never mentioned IB and gave a specific list of schools. Leave it to CC to turn the thread into a discussion about IB at UPenn and NYU.
