<p>My son currently does not think that he will major in business, but says that he will probably change his major and would willingly explore business majors. He is just not certain as to what he wants to major in. He is applying to schools as an English major, which he feels he may or may not stick with as a major.</p>
<p>He is fortunate enough to have a few acceptances in hand this early in his senior year.
I am looking at business majors in case he decides one of the humanity majors (willing to explore those as well) is not for him. He currently has little interest in applying as a business major, but again, is open to exploring it. He really does not know what these majors are about.</p>
<p>Here are 2 schools we are debating and that he was accepted to:</p>
<p>School A is a private liberal arts school.
It is in a rural area.
They offer some business majors (ie: management, economics, and accounting). They have a program for the accounting major to get a master's in one year in accounting from a university after completing a 4 year undergrad degree at this LAC.
They do NOT have AACSB accreditation since they are a small LAC with a business department.
This school is not known well by the average person, because of the small size of the school.
They are listed in just about all college guide books, but I feel that they are a regional school. Only about 30% of students are from out of state.</p>
<p>School B is a small private master's university.
It is very close to a small city and you can call it urban or suburban IMO.
They have a business school with AACSB accreditation.
They do not seem to have a full menu of business major offerings either. One can major in "business" and then specialize in marketing or business administration on the undergraduate level.
This school is more of a regional school, and is not well known outside the state. They are usually not listed in college guide books. They really do not seem that interested in marketing themselves, IMO.
They are making improvements on their campus and they are expanding graduate and undergraduate programs, but are very small.</p>
<p>I think that if my son were going to stick with English, both English programs will be fine.</p>
<p>So, my question is if School A and B were equal cost to us, which would be better for someone who might major in business? My son is solid in math, but particularly talented in math, if that matters (ie: accounting, economics, etc.</p>
