Business at Emory

<p>I am considering pursuing the career of something like a hospital administrator. What would a good major be? I was thinking maybe major in biology and a minor in math or vice versa. Is there a major that most students declare when interested in attending business school?</p>

<p>No, you don’t have to declare any major when interested in attending the business school. Business is it’s own major and you can also have any major in the college that you want as long you can fit the required courses in your schedule.</p>

<p>Is it easy to have both business classes and classes for your other major at the college?</p>

<p>oh okayy thanks :slight_smile:
do you know how the business school works? like i think i heard something about attending during your junior year.</p>

<p>is it like med school and all, where you have to take a standardized test and apply after your undergrad?</p>

<p>Basically, you take a few designated courses your Freshman and Sophomore year. You then apply and enter your Junior year (they’ll look at your activities and GPA). It’s not selective at all. If you have a 3.5 or above, you’re in.</p>

<p>Can you take courses at the business school if you are not a business major(accounting, marketing, etc.)?</p>

<p>You can take a limited number of business courses if you’re not in the business school. However, you can only get in the class if there is space left over after all of the kids in the business school select classes.</p>

<p>i was reading through undergrad bba course requirements (partly listed below)</p>

<p>All pre-business students must complete all the following:</p>

<pre><code>* ECON 101 Microeconomics and ECON 112 Macroeconomics or BUS 201 Business Economics

  • BUS 350 Data and Decision Analytics (Business Statistics)
  • BUS 210 Financial Accounting
    </code></pre>

<p>They noted that they would take AP credit for any of the courses. I received credit for both micro/macroeconomics. But that was sophomore year, so I have forgotten most of the material. So I was thinking of at least taking business econ.</p>

<p>does anyone have any further information about that class? Is it an alternative to micro/macroeconomics? or is it building on the material learned in micro/macro?</p>

<p>Those economics classes are really easy at Emory. The professors apparently make it easier than AP. If you are going to “retake” them, you should probably start at the intermediate level as you will not really learn or be challenged at the intro. level. They will be a waste of your time. Take the AP credit and choose some other courses. Unless really inclined to, avoid taking classes in our econ. dept (I know we have a good business program, but I still think we need to make our econ. program more serious. No excuse for how it is, just as there math and physics are weak. I don’t know why we can’t just find good, challenging hard physics oriented teachers willing to teach somewhere that doesn’t have engineering. Instead we have a bunch of biophysicists). The best you may get is mediocre teaching (maybe only a couple of exceptions).</p>
