<p>My daughter (hs jr) may be interested in business (management, marketing) as a career. I see that Yale has no business major. If she was lucky enough to get in would it not be the right choice for her? Thanks</p>
<p>You can't go wrong with Yale, but if you like business and marketing and the like, consider Wharton at UPenn if you want the focus. I don't know how much focus there is on the subject at Yale.</p>
<p>She would be fine at Yale. I'm sure there are many business-related courses available in the economics department, even if there is no official "business" major. </p>
<p>Very few colleges on Yale's level have specific undergraduate business schools or majors, with the exception of Wharton and the business program at Cornell CALS.</p>
<p>I plan on getting my MBA after I graduate from Yale. The great thing about going to a small(er) liberal arts schools is that I have a chance to take a broad variety of courses with a huge diversity of thinking methods. This lays a great foundation for the business world, thinking critically to solve problems and creatively enough to be on the cutting edge. The thing about going to a business school as an undergrad is that you don't get the same breadth of thinking methods. Really, in today's world, you have to get a master's degree to be competetive. Let the hard core business tools be given to you as a grad student, and get the tools of how to learn as an undergrad.
There are also plenty of business opprotunities as an undergrad, such as the Yale Entrepreneurial Society and connections with the School of Management.</p>
