Chicago CCIB (pre-business) Program?

<p>Questions on CCIB program, any input is welcome.</p>

<ul>
<li>How many courses are required from BGS and at which level? I can’t find undergraduate session courses from the BGS courses list.</li>
<li>How many students choose this program in each year? How many years of this program have been introduced?</li>
<li>How is job placement comparing with an economics major?</li>
</ul>

<p>The undergraduate-only sections for Booth classes are listed on timeschedules:
[University</a> of Chicago Time Schedules](<a href=“http://timeschedules.uchicago.edu/view.php?dept=BUSF&term=77]University”>University of Chicago Time Schedules)</p>

<p>For other answers to your questions, I suggest you poke around the CAPS site and contact them:

<p>What I can say about CCiB, based on the students I know in the program, is that not all of them are economics majors and not all of them are interested in traditional paths into business. I also know students who have taken traditional paths with no help from the economics department or from CAPS-- students who were able to demonstrate their smarts and their leadership in other ways.</p>

<p>Wow I just read up on this program. It’s so great that a structured program like this exists for people interested in business at Chicago. When I was an undergrad at the U of C, we didn’t have anything like this. I know quite a few kids who probably could’ve used a few more practice interviews and some more structured guidance. I’m really glad Chicago’s implementing programs like this now.</p>

<p>It seems like a real dog and pony show to me.</p>

<p>I don’t really see the list of courses you ca take as an undergrad [University</a> of Chicago Time Schedules](<a href=“http://timeschedules.uchicago.edu/view.php?dept=BUSF&term=77]University”>University of Chicago Time Schedules) Can someone please enlighten me?</p>

<p>uchicagoalum - the entire finance world seems like a dog and pony show to me… Might as well give the Chicago undergrads better preparation for it.</p>

<p>Believe me, it is.</p>
