<p>My son wants to study business. He's interested in a few colleges that don't have a business major per se but if he majored in economics he could pretty much take every course that he could take at a b-school. Specifically Johns Hopkins and Northwestern. He's not a super quant and might want a job as a management consultant or a corporation (not specifically investment banking, etc.).</p>
<p>Is it as easy to market yourself as a business major to consulting firms without the business major? Do you get to do the case studies type things?</p>
<p>For employment, would it be better to go to let's say NYU Stern or Wash U? I don't think he'd get into Wharton or Cornell business. He's about a 4.2, mid 700's on all SAT's and 2 SAT IIs. Great extracurriculars.</p>
