<p>Which school would better prepare me for a career in international business. </p>
<p>I don't know if Columbia College or the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences would better prepare me. I want to go to law school too. </p>
<p>I know in business you have to have a lot of math so wouldn't the engineering school be best? </p>
<p>What if I majored in financial engineering at the Fu Foundation School? Thats basically business.</p>
<p>Since engineering is mostly math....and business has alotttt of math too...wouldn't the Engineering school be my best bet.</p>
<p>^firstly figure out what excites you of the undergrad disciplines on offer, CC has econ-math and econ-OR joint majors, they're pretty solid, but not as indepth as an engineering degree (even financial engineering), different core requirements for each school. at seas you can minor in econ to help with looking attractive for business jobs/law school, or a poli sci minor for law schools, or both. Seas definitely gives you a quantative edge, CC makes you a better writer/gives broader foundation.</p>
<p>well I love science and I like math for the most part......english=yuck...and I'm not artsy at all....but I do enjoy history........hmmmm...this is such a toughie! Comments, advice...anyone?</p>
<p>zebrastripes: If you like math/science, and hate english/writing, go with SEAS. With SEAS, you still take part of the core(since you like history, you would probably take Contemporary Civilization). So, you'd get to take history whilst focusing on math/science. Sounds like a no brainer to me!</p>
<p>What's international business? If I work at IBM, so I sell machines for international business? What's this fascination that naive kids have with a career in "international ___________"? And why on earth would you want to go to law school if you wanted to do "international business"?</p>
<p>My point is that your career plans are wishy-washy and you really don't have a clue what you want to do (even though you think you might have some clue). So pick whichever school you think you'll enjoy most and do best at. You can get a basic education on econ/financial type stuff at either CC or SEAS. And nobody really cares what you college major is.</p>
<p>I second C02. your plan sounds like "I'll spin a wheel and hope it lands in the right general direction"</p>
<p>and btw FE is NOT business, it's far far far from being business... FE is a very specific study pertaining to the financial industry (mathematically modeling and pricing behaviors of financial instruments.. options in particular)</p>
<p>EMS's probably the most "business" like major there is in SEAS (OR also give you a good quantitative background for operations but it's also not business)</p>
