<p>Hello. I am currently junior high school student. I am interested in engineering but i am not sure which major is suitable for me. I am considering being business associate after graduating industrial engineering major so I will get MBA at graduate school. Also, I consider Auburn university samuel ginn engineering program as undergrad(I think 47 or 52 according to usnews.com undergrad engineering ranking in doctorate is highest degree) and, I will go to Georgia tech to get MBA. Currently, my act score is 32. (36 math/ 35 science/ perfect writing score.) because of financial need, i may need full scholarship at auburn university which requires at least act 30. (act 34: elite scholarship..) And, i do not know difference between CS and computer engineering.. are they same?? or different.. I wish working in Apple or Hp. Also, according to my career interest report, business and Information Technology are about same.. I cannot make decision. </p>
<p>Can i go industrial engineering and get MBA later?? or do i need to major finance or accounting in undergrad.. I heard that Tim Cook at Apple got industrial engineering at Auburn and MBA at Duke... Please help me.</p>
<p>It’s going to be next to impossible to find a position as a business analyst from Auburn. Unless you’re a Rhodes Scholar, you need to attend a higher ranked school to be competitive.</p>
<p>Your post makes it difficult to believe you got a perfect writing score on the ACT.</p>
<p>Banjo Hitter,</p>
<p>Auburn is a highly regarded & highly ranked Industrial Engineering school in most circles. You are crazy if you think that an IE graduate from Auburn will not be competitive with others. I personally know many business analysts from Auburn that work in Silicon Valley. This is hardly “next to impossible”. It is more difficult to get a BA job in Silicon Valley than in any part of the country, and so I can confidently say that you are incorrect in assuming that an Auburn IE grad is not competitive.</p>
<p>MBA programs have no particular undergraduate major or course work requirement other than getting a bachelor’s degree and preferring good work experience afterward.</p>
<p>@deposition What do you mean by that? I’m choosing between Cal Poly Pomona and SJSU for Computer Science, but once I get my bachelors I’m planning on working in Silicon Valley. I live in Santa Clara county and it doesn’t seem too hard to find CS jobs with a BS/BA around here.</p>
