What is better for the future career? Business administration at Cal Poly or economics at UCSB? Does it make a difference for obtaining an MBA which school my daughter goes to?
Which Cal Poly?
SLO
@philbegas Cal Poly SLO
UCSB is fine if you want to study to accounting, it probably hires just as well as Cal Poly. For other business disciplines (finance, marketing, info systems, etc.) I’d consider SLO. Both will be fine for an MBA, after getting some solid work experience.
IMO between those two schools she could pick whichever one she would be happier at. They’re pretty comparable institutions and she should try to go to the one where she might get a higher GPA if grad school is the end goal.
@arc918, @ philbegas Thank you !
@CalMamochka I have the same question with my son. He has accepted into both. Do you mind sharing our notes offline?
Good grades and GMAT score are what will help your daughter get into a good MBA program, not whether she’s business or econ. Would she rather do econ or would she rather do business?
Cal Poly SLO has a great business program.
