Business Economics vs Business Administration

College Majors Business Major

<p>I am kind of in a dilemma here. I really want to pursue business and my ultimate goal is to be a CEO of a company. However I really don't know what to major in. I feel like being an undergrad in business would help me reach that goal faster, but then again I've never heard of a CEO with an undergraduate degree in Business where as people like Donald Trump have degrees in Economics, or computer science, etc. Also, I heard getting an MBA is hard for people with an undergraduate degree in Business since they want a well-rounded applicant I guess.</p>

<p>So my question is, should I apply to undergrad business school like USC Marshall, NYU Stern, BC Carroll, Emory Goizueta OR should I apply to be a Econ or Business Econ major at these universities OR should I apply to be an econ/business econ major and minor in Business?</p>

<p>Which option do you think will lead me to my ultimate goal faster? Thank you so much!</p>

<p>1) Who said undergrad business students don’t get MBAs?
Check the stats. In HBS Class of 2014, 43% of the students have background from Bus/Econ.
And I’m sure the stats for other schools are similar if not higher.</p>

<p>2) There’s no guarantee to become a CEO.
Some have MBAs, some have Master in STEM, some have JDs, and some don’t even have a college degree.
It’s not like u can get the degree to be a CEO,
it’s more like the company sees you with potentials and recommend you to get a degree.</p>
