<p>im deciding between Georgetown MSB and Tulane .. even though ive always had my heart set on gtown, ive been liking tulane more and more. its hard to say no to the scholarship/honors program/living in NOLA! </p>
<p>soo does anyone know how the freeman business school is for undergrads?</p>
<p>is there good job recruitment, internships, overall success?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>I am not the expert by any means so you will get more authoritative posts I am sure, but being a Tulane alum and now having a daughter starting in the fall, I have kept up with it quite a lot. And everything I have heard is that the school does an excellent job with undergrads and, I would think, there ought to be lots of opportunities for internships and true on-the-job learning. I am quite sure you will enjoy everything else about the school, also.</p>
<p>Georgetown and Tulane are both great. However, if you are at all thinking about Finance I would pick Tulane. Look into their Burkenroad Reports Program, Darwin Fenner Program, trading classes (featured a few times on CNBC last year) and their trading floor on campus. Tulane was named a Top 10 school IN THE WORLD for finance in 2008 by British publication Financial Times. I don't think the two schools are close for that discipline. I looked into Georgetown for my MBA but opted to get a Master of Finance from Tulane instead. I'm convinced I made the right choice. When I was a Grad student at TU, there were always big I-banks, some of which no longer exist :) , looking specifically for undergrads. Internship wise there are a few boutique investment banks in the city that know Tulane and always hire interns from their finance program. Plus, Tulane has a huge presence in the NY area so a lot of kids go up there for the summer to intern. </p>
<p>However, say you wanted to minor or double major in political science. Pick Georgetown. Being in DC while majoring in political science can't be beat by any school in the world. </p>
<p>If you aren't sure or the two above situations don't apply to what you want to major in. Visit both schools. Frankly, both are great cities to visit regardless. Good Luck!! </p>

<p>I'm going in Business undecided? how hard is it to transfer to finance?</p>
<p>It is much easier to declare a finance major if you are already starting your college career as a b-school student. The Freeman core requirements differ quite a bit from the liberal arts requirements. If you are in the b-school declaring a finance major just involves filling out paperwork.</p>
