<p>How are Browns business programs? I want to go to law school in the future, and I know that Brown has a great acceptance rate for law school and get my JD/MBA. However, for me to even be able to afford Brown (and pay off my loans), I need to know if I can get a good job after graduating from undergrad. </p>
<p>Therefore my question is, is brown prestigious for its business majors, such as economics, and some of the other business programs I have seen on the website such as Commerce, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship? Can someone who goes to Brown help me regarding the types of opportunities available for business students. I’m just wondering this because I know there is no business school, but is the college itself prestigious for business?</p>
<p>I wouldn't say the college is "prestigious" for business - considering it's nothing like Wharton with it's own business major per se. But if you're looking into law school in the future, Brown is top notch for law school acceptance rates - and you can basically major in anything (relatively speaking) and still go to law school (Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there some statistic that music majors have one of the highest acceptance rates to law schools?... could be making that up)</p>
<p>I'm a freshman who is highly considering the COE major but with more of a focus on organizational management and less on finance. I will probably supplement that with music or theater or something I enjoy - entertainment law in the future? Whatever the case - Brown is definitely a good stepping stone for law school (and I'm sure business, although again, business is not what defines the Brown undergrad experience).</p>
<p>What's your views on COE? A programme that draws on Brown's strengths across many departments or a lame attempt to kickstart a mini undergrad biz school?</p>
<p>Monosierra, COE is in no way looking to create a buisness school. I doubt you'd ever see a traditional business school here at Brown because pre-professionalism is not focused on at all and is contrary to many of Brown's key-ideals. Though I am not involved with COE and I can't tell you how cohesive it is as a major (the issue you should be wondering about when new, interdisciplinary concentrations are introduced-- how cohesive is this concentration, does it have the organization and resources it needs to create a defined experience?), I can say that Brown's COE program is seeking to teach it's students how to be a "real world" problem solver. Scientists are teh world's premiere problem solvers, with engineers perhaps being the top of hte heap. COE seeks to channel that ability into a more business oriented environment.</p>
