CALS or CAS?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I'm interested in business, yet I'm not exactly sure if I'll major in it. I've never taken any business or economics courses (I'll be taking AP Micro/Macro Econ next year though), so I'm not exactly sure if I want to major in it. But it's something I'm strongly interested in. </p>

<p>What is the difference between Applied Economics and Management in CALS and Economics in CAS? Are the colleges more or less selective for Early/Regular Decision? What are the advantages of going to one over the other (if there are any) in terms of finding a job and securing connections, student life, ect.? Are students generally the same at both schools or does a certain "type" of student apply to CALS over CAS or vice versa? I'm so confused...@_@ Thanks for responding!</p>

<p>students are not typed by college other than that hotelies are hot ;) State contract colleges have more NY students, but that doesn't make a difference in the least.</p>

<p>AEM is accredited undergrad business major, Econ is B.A. in econ, a liberal arts degree.</p>

<p>If you do will in either you will do fine in the job market.</p>

<p>There will be no difference in social life--it's not like hotelies don't speak to architects, and ILRies don't speak to CAS students.</p>
