<p>hey i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find the rankings of business programs in the us and what exactly do you learn and do in business? like analyze graphs etc.?</p>
<p>You could be in anything from Advertising to Finance in a Business program.</p>
<p>[Rankings</a> - Best Business Schools - Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/rankings]Rankings”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/rankings)</p>
<p>Like engineering schools, business schools are ranked on their graduate program, not their undergraduate program (although there are undergraduate rankings, no one pays attention to them). </p>
<p>Several companies put out rankings (most notably BusinessWeek and US News and World Report). Some people push BW, but USNWR (while still flawed) is a better ranking system.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pretty much exactly that.</p>
<p>Ga Tech business program is liberal art based education. The first two years are most general course requirements. The third year are general business courses (accounting, finance, marketing). The fourth year are specific concentrated program such Finance, accounting. Ga tech management is ranked around 30 in the country, according to USNEWS.</p>
<p>Also, if you like math, Ga Tech also have the best Isye major in the world. IE is similar to management but offer more math oriented major such as supply chain, financial engineering, etc. In many other schools, those majors are housed in management department, but at Tech, those majors are belongs to IE department.</p>
<p>so is undergraduate business at georgia tech considered one of the easier majors and would i be able to get into a good graduate school with a business major from georgia tech?</p>
<p>MGT (business) is considered to be the easiest, or one of the easiest majors at Tech. </p>
<p>Your ability to get into a “good graduate school” depends on the type of graduate school you’re seeking. MBA programs tend to prefer engineering/science students over business undergraduates.</p>
<p>It depends.</p>
<p>Like I said before, Management major is liberal art major instead of hardcore engineering or science. For many, liberal art courses are considered “easier” because it required less study time then a typical engineering course. However, for many engineers, history and political science are hard because they are not very good at all. I had friends who had As and Bs in CS but got Cs and Ds for liberal art courses.</p>
<p>Also, most management majors tend to major finance/accounting for their concentrations. Tech has pretty good passing rate for CPA.</p>
<p>As Veracity said, there are many fields within business. You’ve got accounting, finance, marketing, and operations, to name [some</a> of the most popular ones](<a href=“http://mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/prospective/con/index.html]some”>http://mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/prospective/con/index.html). </p>
<p>Regarding your question about “good graduate school,” like G.P.Burdell noted, what kind of graduate school? I can tell you that I’ve been admitted to PhD programs (not MBA) at two of the [top</a> 15 schools as ranked by U.S. News](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/rankings]top”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/rankings). I’d prefer to maintain at least a veneer of anonymity, so I can’t tell you which schools exactly, but suffice to say that you can enter top 15 schools with a GT College of Management undergraduate degree!</p>
<p>

<p>Wow. That’s a pretty rare feat for a business undergrad. Usually, PhD business programs look for engineering and math majors because the higher level modelling and data analysis requires substantial mathematical proficiency.</p>
<p>thanks for the info guys but Id like to ask another question. Instead of majoring in business would a science major such as psychology or biology (sciences that dont require much math and computing) give a higher chance to be accepted for an MBA program than majoring in business at GT?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve taken math through ordinary differential equations, which is as far as all engineering majors go excluding IEs, who take linear and discrete instead. So I don’t feel that my math background is deficient compared to theirs. No matter what, I’m well aware that there’s a huge jump in difficulty between what I’m currently doing and what I will be doing this fall. I have no delusions about what lies ahead.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I preface by noting that MBA admissions are very different from PhD admissions. As far as I know, MBA admissions heavily weights “leadership” and work experience. So I don’t think your choice of major matters as much as your leadership record and quality of full-time work experience.</p>
