BEST undergrad schools represented at top fims for marketing and/or finance??

<p>Trying to finalize my college list and I'm just kinda wondering??? I'm also interested in international business, I kinda hope to work in China like shanghai or Hongkong or overseas however I don't think there are any schools that are really good in "international Business".... lol please post!</p>

<p>Wharton is tops in all of the above (marketing, finance, and international business), and has an excellent international reputation and alumni network.</p>

<p>Harvard and Wharton are both very good. Many students interested in finance or international business at Harvard usually study economics.</p>

<p>haha thanks all for replying!</p>

<p>I guess it would be useful to post my list
NYU stern
CMu tepper
Upenn Wharton
Cornell AEM
Umich
MIT
Indiana Kelley
USC Marshall
maybe one of the other Ivy leagues, I do not want to go to Harvard or Princeton or Yale.</p>

<p>Again Thanks for all replies!</p>

<p>Columbia College.</p>

<p>Just so you know, you don't have to go to an undergraduate business program to get into international business.</p>

<p>really??? well wharton and NYU stern both have international busniess listed under their majors???</p>

<p>Dartmouth doesn't have a Business program, but a top notch Econ one, and a totally amazing Study Abroad program. For ibanking, it's right after Harvard and Wharton in Top Bank recruiting.</p>

<p>Also, under the D-Plan, you have a very flexible schedule, so you can take almost any term off to do an internship. Its alumni network is also extremely tight-knit, and spread out throughout fields. <3</p>

<p>NYU has international business only as a co-major. </p>

<p>Wharton is the obvious business school of choice. Since you're not looking into HYP, do consider NYU Stern as a serious option. Finance is its strength (2nd to Wharton according to US News), and it also does well in Marketing. The school also has a heavy emphasis on studying abroad and NYU Abroad sites include both Shanghai and Hong Kong. Also, there is a required trip abroad in your Junior year, which is awesome. </p>

<p>Sorry, I don't know about the other schools! I'm going to Stern next year so I'm a little biased ;D</p>

<p>Penn also has its own College which offers the International Relations major. As someone who has done marketing work for one of the world's preeminent icons of marketing prowess--in Beijing and Shanghai--I can tell you that we Penn IR majors do quite well in the field. Our curriculum does have overlap with Wharton's international business courses.</p>

<p>And I am writing this from JFK International where I am waiting to board my flight to the international business job I took with a conglomerate in India.</p>

Taggart,
Dartmouth doesn't have a top notch Econ program.

<p>Why do you say this? Dartmouth is a top school with top faculty. At the undergraduate level I'm sure it can stack up to any college of its caliber.</p>

<p>beefs,
What Dartmouth has is a top notch undergraduate program. That along with its D-plan and alumni network make its undergrads very successful in all fields.</p>

<p>How can you have a "top undergraduate program" without top departments within? Think before you post.</p>

<p>^^ IPBear has it right.</p>

<p>Because "top department" denotes a graduate stat, not an undergrad one. People on CC often confuse the two. Dartmouth does among the top 4-5 schools in the country in finance placement, well ahead of most of the Ivies and business schools. Dartmouth "undergrad" is one of the best in the country.</p>

<p>I agree with slippers1234. Top departments usually refer to ones carrying out large quantities of quality researches, but the quantity of research doesn't equate to quality education for undergrads. For instance, a top department may have numerous Nobel Laureates who only teach large upper level courses. A top undergraduate program has teachers, whose accomplishments may be slightly lower than those Nobel Laureates, teaching small lower level classes.</p>

<p>True. This is why LACs such as Williams, Amherst, and Swarthmore are among the best colleges.</p>

<p>UChicago. Having the widely considered best Econ program and maybe best Business school in the world doesn't hurt the undergrad's reputation.</p>

<p>gonna bump and thanks to all for replying , the advice is taken into serious consideration!</p>

<p>I definitely would head to Dartmouth over Chicago and most schools if I wanted as Wall Street or consulting job. I see it as the pragmatic career ivy.</p>
