<p>considering joint-degree program of EE and Business.As to CMU and UCB,Which is better?
Also does these two colleges offer programs like Penn's Fisher program?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>UCB>CMU. True story.</p>
<p>I agree with 20LEGEND. Berkeley is definitely better than CMU. (But it’s your choice, so if you want to go to CMU, go for it 
)</p>
<p>For EE, Berk. For CS, debatable.</p>
<p>For business, Berk (Haas) > CMU.</p>
<p>You should know that it’s VERY rare for a student to double major in business and any engineering. The engineering workload is pretty rough.</p>
<p>ECE would probably be Berkeley. CS would be CMU. For west coast placement obviously Cal dominates here but for east coast placement of business (NY/Wall St), it is not the case, and you can tell from their postgrad surveys. CA is great for Tech but less so for business. That is why Haas is around 57k median while McIntire (UVA) is 58k and Stern/Tepper are both at 60k. It depends on your location but business schools are not ranked on education (especially not for undergrad) but on the quality of jobs its graduates receive. For that, the postgrad surveys show Tepper/Stern ahead, perhaps due to location, but the average student does do better.</p>
<p>Even though I really don’t like Berserkeley (as we call it at our school), I would have to say UCB. Their business program is top notch and the EECS program is really good too.</p>
<p>I’d say it comes down to fit a lot more than everyone else is saying. Both schools are absolutely top notch in both of those fields (CMU gets shirked in EE rankings due to it combining their EE and CE departments), so what matters is how well you feel you’d do at the respective school.</p>
<p>If you want a large school with tons of different kinds of people that’s in CA, then Berkeley is a good bet. If you want a smaller school with a much “nerdier” feel to it, then CMU is a good bet.</p>
<p>Also, just want to mention that double majoring in ECE and business at CMU is relatively easy. I know a bunch of people that managed it without too much added difficulty.</p>
<p>It comes down to how realistic it really is to pursue business and ee at both schools.</p>
<p>i think at berkeley, it’s probably impossible to do a double major, simply because programs are impacted, and you have to apply into business during your sophomore year.</p>
<p>i think business and ee is more realistic at cmu. the marginal difference in terms of programs between cmu/ucb doesn’t really matter, so it’s honestly about chosing for other reasons than the strength of your program.</p>
<p>you may consider looking at schools that offer majors such as managerial engineering, or some type of management & engineer program. i think harvey mudd/cmc offer this</p>
<p>i guess just goto wherever you want to,</p>
<p>but if it was me,</p>
<p>UCB hands down.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>

<p>I don’t know about that one–not only does Berkeley’s CS program consistently rank in the top (often #1, and sometimes ahead of CMU), but it’s ranked #2 in technology in the world, and it’s right next to Silicon Valley. I’d say at best they’d be on par.</p>
