<p>I've received admission to both UCI and University of San Diego and I plan on going for a degree in business administration. Aside from the obvious price point difference with USD being far more costly, I've run into a problem deciding which school to attend. UCI's business administration program is brand new, but I have it in my mind that somehowthe reputation of the school itself will significantly help in job placement but I am not sure how accurate my assumption is. USD's program was ranked 29th by business week. Basically I am unsure as to the strengths and weaknesses of both schools in the field of business in comparison with one another, and I was wondering based on the perceptions of people from either of the schools schools related to the business program, or job placement, etc to help me in making my decision. So please if you have anything that may help me in my decision making process between UCI and USD it would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>Go to UCI. Most people in California don't even know there is such thing as USD</p>
<p>UCSD has a B.Sc. in Management Science which is offered as a major within the Economics Department. UCI on the other hand has a full-fledged Undergraduate Business School which offers all the major Business courses, accounting, finance, marketing, management, etc............</p>
<p>So if a true business major is your objective, UCI is the only game in town. Now Haas at UCB is the well-established alternative but let's talk after you get UCB admissions........</p>
<p>TC is not referring to University of California, San Diego, but University of San Diego which is a private university. I wasn't aware of that school until they came here for a baseball game.</p>
<p>LOL
my point has been proven</p>
<p>UCI's undergrad business program is new, but its School of Business isn't. For 2008, its full-time MBA program was ranked #44 nationally by U.S. News... not exactly Haas, but quite respectable.</p>
<p>It's not automatic that the quality will transfer to the undergraduate program, but it's a pretty good bet.</p>
