Best Double Major in Business?

<p>I would like to double major in a course in Business.</p>

<p>I was considering double majoring out of these:</p>

<p>Accounting
Finance
Economics
Marketing
Business Management</p>

<p>I hopefully would like to become an investment banker if that helps.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would take finance with either econ or business management</p>

<p>If you want to be a banker, your major does not matter, but the fact that you ask meaningless questions does.</p>

<p>I'm thinking steveee must have lost some money in the stock market.</p>

<p>I'd double major in Finance and Accounting, with Finance and Economics running a close second.</p>

<p>I would major in finance and accounting. Out of all the business concentrations accounting is the easiest to get a job.</p>

<p>Finance-Marketing
my explanation is: finance is the core for major analysis while marketing helps you introduce yourself to other companies and persuade them to join u :D</p>

<p>Do you mean picking TWO majors from the list, or do you already have a main degree? Finance and accounting are a good combination, but if your good at sciences try your hand at applied mathematics.</p>

<p>Accounting/Economics
Accounting/MIS</p>

<p>Accounting, or as ^ MIS (however, that was not one of your options). IT or Comp. Sci. also a very good combo w/ Bus. (again, not one of your options).</p>

<p>I do not recommend Bus. Mgmt. (With Business? Seems redundant!)</p>

<p>I plan to take dual major in Finance and marketing. I think it is good to have a marketing degree. MBA will be my last degree before i go to work. It would provide a very strong base</p>

<p>Finance and Econ. But econ isn’t business. It’s one of the humanities. </p>

<p>Really it’s what ever you enjoy the most. If you don’t like the subject you’re screwed. Especially if you plans for I-banking don’t pan out. Think about what you want to be for the next ten years, if not for the rest of your life, if you don’t make it into I-banking. That’s practical. </p>

<p>I eat, sleep, and drink finance and economics. All business really, that’s why I’m a consultant. I would help people for free if it weren’t against my religion. :wink: I’ve been making money since I first learned to count money. I can’t prove that, but If you ran into my family they would tell you the youngest of 5 kids always had a positive net worth. My brothers and sisters owed me money, and I had money in the bank at 7 years old. The point is you have to find what you enjoy and what you are really passionate about. I’m not passionate about money. I love the process of making money. </p>

<p>My undergrad double was Finance and International Business. Both were useful for my purposes. That’s why I was able to become a VC consultant for trade finance, and foreign direct investment. The IB’s, development bankers, the investment advisers, and the PE guys around me know that I know finance, I know business, and I know how to operate in a foreign business environment. </p>

<p>You gotta love what you do.</p>

<p>Finance and accounting, but economics courses are important as well. There are a lot of investment banking interviews where they will ask you some accounting problems.</p>

<p>I would have to agree with finance and accounting. The ibanking finance track here includes almost a full accounting minor for good reason and you’ll take all the economics you need completing those anyway.</p>

<p>well i wanted to know if i do an accounting major and a minor in finance can i still get a job in finance? Im looking at mcgill but the problem is that it doesn’t have a combo of accounting and finance…</p>

<p>Based on my experience, double major will not help you. Just concentrate on one major and focus on receiving good grades.</p>

<p>^^Considering just a few weeks ago you were posting about getting an internship, what experience are you talking about?</p>

<p>Accounting/Finance</p>

<p>Accounting/MIS</p>

<p>Finance/Economics</p>

<p>These are all great pairs and will be something an employer will look highly upon. Diversity in one’s education is very important. I have a friend who is now working for the Big 4 who was scared that when Deloitte asked for his transcript that they would look down at the wide range of classes he took because he had no idea what he wanted to do, well they loved it.</p>

<p>I’m transferring next fall and am doing the same double major as you (international business & finance). It sounds like you know what your talking about so if id appreciate any advice on how to become successful in this field. thanks</p>
