<p>I am a student who will be attending the University of Michigan or MIchigan State University(whichever i decide) in the near future and I want to double major.
My first major I am positively taking is Economics, but I am unsure of what major i should accompany that with. I plan on getting my MBA from a top 10 program (hopefuly) later in my life after some good work experience. </p>
<p>I am thinking maybe a Computer and Information Science major??? or maybe just minor in that???</p>
<p>What double majors would you suggest i accompany with my Economics major??</p>
<p>any insight and help on the situation is welcomed:)</p>
<p>Start with your econ requirements and take a class per semester in the other subjects you might like to combine with it–like computer science or a language. You will discover very quickly what you like and what you don’t. Though a foreign language combination is a great suggestion, not everyone enjoys studying languages. You do not need to make this decision before you start college.</p>
<p>My husband has an engineering undergraduate with his MBA.</p>
<p>For languages i already know how to speak French, as well as english of course. As for a business undergrad degree such as accounting/finance, UofM only has a business administration program and that would add 2 years of school since I am transferring as a Sophomore, so I probably will not do a business undergrad. Would adding a major in Computer and Information Science be a good choice?? what would it do for me???</p>
<p>Any other degrees that would be benneficial to combine with an Economics degree??</p>
<p>Do you know what you want to do with an MBA?</p>
<p>I might be a little partial towards accounting if you’re going for an MBA later because it teaches you how businesses operate. An example of how the two might compliment each other would be in economics you can do economic forecasting to see which sectors are the strongest, and with accounting you would learn which companies within that sector are the strongest and weakest.</p>
<p>Mathematics would be more useful if you want to pursue an advanced degree in economics. You would probably find a strong background in math especially useful for your econometrics courses… Additionally, math can be a very marketable degree in business. You could potentially use it to become a quant or an actuary.</p>
<p>well dealing with UofM’s policy on transferring to Ross they rarely accept people who aren’t already Michigan students so I would have to take a year of classes to prove I can “keep up with their curriculum” so they said. but the thing is you can only get into the business school in the fall and it is a 3 year program. So I have already completed the max amount of transferrable credits(2 years at a nearby community College) and then i would have to wait a year and then 3 years in their Business Administration program, Business administration is the only degree available at Ross. So if you do the math I would have a double major in 6 years of school…thats why ive been leaning away from a business undergrad degree. Lol hopefully what i said is understandable i kind of explained everything in a few sentences…</p>
<p>I have heard it is more about job experience than it is about your undergrad degree dealing with getting accepted to a top MBA, so i guess maybe what other major would accompany economics well in being the best fit for getting a better job right out of school??
Maybe i have been misinformed and have no clue what i am talking about…if so feel free to correct me…</p>
