<p>Which option should I take?</p>

<p>Dual Degree in BS in General Management + BA Economics:</p>

<p>BS Management courses include: accounting, finance, business law, management, marketing</p>

<p>BA Economics courses include: economics of labor, US financial markets, financial economics, microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory</p>

<p>OR should I just major in BS Financial Economics</p>

<p>BS Financial Economics courses include: microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, econometrics, economics of labor, US financial markets, monetary economics, economics of organizations, finance, accounting</p>

<p>Dual degree would probably require half a year more of schooling in order to take all the required courses (4.5 years) while the single BS in Financial Econ will only take 4 years.</p>

<p>I'm not sure which path to choose, but the dual degree does sound very attractive.</p>

<p>Career goals are not limited to, but include:
human resources,
financial adviser,
banking,
stocks (analyst)
analyst/researcher</p>

<p>The dual degree probably won’t be worth another semester of paying for school instead of earning money. Just go for the BS fin econ.</p>

<p>Definitely do the BS in Financial Economics, it is more of a quantitative background that might come in useful down the line, particularly when employers are looking for such.</p>
