<p>Okay so I will be going to Rutgers University (New Brunswick) next fall. I have been accepted to both the School of Engineering and Rutgers College. I am unsure as to whether I should major in Finance or Computer and Electrical Engineering. I would like to later go on and get an MBA. I want to work in the field of business, but I have heard that even Engineers can work in the business world --> IBanking and such. Also, I have heard that an undergrad degree in business is not worth it because you will be taking similar courses in business school when going for the MBA. I really don't want to waste money majoring in Finance or another business related field when I will be taking the same courses again in business school. Do Computer and Electrical Engineers have the same oppurtunities as those who major in Finance as undergrads? Do engineers have less opportunities, in terms of jobs, than do finance majors? Will majoring in finance be beneficial for me when I go on to pursue an MBA? Please help I am very confused and open to any feedback. Thanks!</p>
<p>An engineering student going into an MBA program will generally have to take more classes than a finance or management grad going into an MBA program. The engineering student will have to go back and pick up some basic courses. That was the experience in the MBA program I went through.</p>
<p>An MBA and an engineering or other technical degree would give you a leg up in many fields compared to a candidate with only a business background. It would be a strong combination.</p>
<p>Collegehunter try putting up this thread on the engineering major forum....u will get some really helpful replies there</p>
