<p>Hello every/
I am admitted to the institute of technology in univ of minnesota twin cities.
Because I have several APs in Physics Calculus Chem and Econ it is likely that I will only need three yrs to get my IT's degree.
So I am thinking about going for a second Major in Carlson School of Management.
Can anyone give me some idea about which specific area should I choose?
They have the following majors:</p>

<p>263 Accounting B.S.B.
264 Entrepreneurial Management B.S.B.
265 Finance B.S.B.
266 Human Resources and Industrial Relations B.S.B.
267 International Business B.S.B.
268 Management Information Systems B.S.B.
269 Marketing B.S.B.
270 Operations B.S.B.
271 Public/Nonprofit Management B.S.B.
271 Risk Management and Insurance B.S.B.
272 Supply Chain Management B.S.B.</p>

<p>I will probably major in Electrical Engineering so I hope that my second major may help me find a job within my engineering major quicker and receive better salary.</p>

<p>Any reply would be helpful~~~~~~~</p>

<p>I doubt any second major would earn you a higher salary. In general, companies hire EE on a level playing field, and don't consider secondary majors (at least I never did). </p>

<p>With that said, a business degree can be very beneficial depending on your intended career. If your goal is manufacturing, then Operations can be very relevant and helpful. If your plan is to go into project management, then Entrepreneurial Management or Finance would be helpful. If you plan to go into consulting, MIS could be helpful. </p>

<p>At the end of the day, it depends on what you're doing with your EE. But keep in mind that the EE is the primary degree that's going to get you a position. The BSB is a supplement to help you stand out to recruiters and get ahead in the workplace.</p>
