<p>any thoughts? (in regards to education, internships offers, getting into grad school, etc.)</p>
<p>Are you instate? Is money an issue?</p>
<p>out of state. there is about 17k disparity (usc is paying for half with grants) lol sounds bad i know, but my parents said they are willing to pay for ucla (mostly since they think ucla > usc, which is all i heard this past week as well when i was staying with my friends who go there haha)</p>
<p>In regards to education, both are different as you pointed out. UCLA has business economics, and USC has business administration. If you plan on a career in finance, accounting or even consulting the business degree won't really help you that much. UCLA has the accounting minor at UCLA Anderson Business School (very respected). As a biz econ major, you also take some of those classes as well at UCLA Anderson. If you look careful at the curricular, the biz econ does offer classes such as finance, international trade, money and banking. In terms of general education, UCLA definitely has the edge. UCLA's departments are, on average, better than USC (except a few).</p>
<p>In terms of getting into a grad school (MBA), majoring in business admin gives you no advantage. To grad schools, UCLA is more prestigious and a better education. However, more importantly they look at work experience and your GPA.</p>
<p>Both UCLA and USC are great for internships in LA. USC may be a little easier due to its career center and alumni network. However, companies in LA do not respect USC more than UCLA. So the key to attending UCLA is to be active.</p>

<p>Correction: If you plan on a career in finance, accounting or even consulting the business degree won't really help you that much "more."</p>
<p>There are lots of UCLA Biz Econ grads in the USC Leventhal School of Accounting Masters Program. UCLA does not offer a Master of Accounting nor a Master of Business Taxation.</p>
<p>UCLA has something called an MBA. Last time I checked, it was ranked higher than USC in US News, Forbes, Financial Times, and Business Week.</p>
<p>Un hun. Don't you think alot of people know that UCLA Andersen MBA is ranked higher than USC's Marshall MBA Program. Your comment that "UCLA has something called an MBA" speaks for itself as to the type of person you are. Stop being insecure about your own decisions that you have to knock down other people.</p>
