<p>Is it possible to get into business school with a major in Computer Science and only a minor in Economics? Or do I have to double major? Or should I do it the other way around? I think Computer Science and Economics are both useful majors, but I don't think either one would prepare me for the type of job I want.</p>
<p>The term business is not limited to finance. Surely, even without minor in economics you will still be able to win the admission as long as your complete application package attracts the adcoms. The top business schools such as Sloan School at MIT, Wharton School at UPenn, Harvard Business School or Stanford Business school have confirmed that they do not select students on the basis of their majors, primarily because the schools want to create a diverse student group coming from different fields.</p>
<p>Also, I guess you are misunderstanding the very definition of the term "Master of Business Administration". It isn't only about economics. When you get to a business school, you study diverse fields of academics, anything that can relate to your success in the future. For example, some students focus on taking marketing courses, while others do finance, leadership, stock market operation, etc.</p>

<p>Yes, you can basically get into business school with any major....</p>
<p>MBA programs are open to anyone with relevant work experience. The student body is very diverse. From retail, finance, marketing to engineering, construction, computer science, information management systems, the list goes on and on. an MBA can help people in almost any industry to spearhead management, marketing, stock market, real estate. It is a very lucrative program in the sense that you will be trained to make bigger more informed decisions regardless of what field you are in.</p>
