California Colleges/Unis - Finance Major

State Forums
1

<p>So, I was at UC Berk for 2 years as a Chem E. major, but I withdrew because I didn't like it, and I didn't know what I wanted to do. I'm currently at a CC, and I've taken a liking to Econ and accounting, but I'm really more interested in Finance than accounting. So, I either go back to Berkeley and try for Haas (but it'd be business admin, not finance), or I transfer somewhere else as a finance major (probably the latter). I'd like to know what Colleges/Unis are high up there for finance majors. So far, I've seen USC and Cal Poly SLO.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>PS. Suggestions are welcome. Any questions that would allow you to make better judgements are welcome as well.</p>

<p>Are you from the Bay Area? If so, SJSU also has a good business department that offers a concentration in finance.</p>

<p>That said, you’ve named some very good schools for business, and I would take the schools you named over SJSU any day (although for USC, I would only go if I got scholarships that brought the cost down to where it’s comparable to a UC), but if it doesn’t work out, SJSU makes a good backup.</p>
