<p>Is this why Wharton, Stern, Ross, Haas, Tepper, and Sloan consistently get Wall Street jobs even more so than some Ivy league schools and schools ranked higher than it nationally?</p>
<p>"You have plenty of time to learn how to read a budget."
Yeah because that's all we do. I don't know about other schools but over here a Business major comprises of required classes that makes a business major more of a mix of Math, Statistics, Programming, Tech skills, Economics, History, English, and other computer-related consulting skills along with the normal Business Core.</p>
<p>It's interesting. Tepper is really mostly business, not too many electives. If you went for an MBA would it be all stuff you took already? What are you planning to major in?</p>

<li>I love it.</li>
<li>It's pretty easy as I have a 3.8 (it's usually SCS and drama kids who work the hardest. I only work about 30 hours a week).</li>
<li>I'm from northern Virginia and New york area.</li>
<li>Pittsburgh is the #2 Nation's largest college town after Boston.
You can visit the Carnegie Mellon msg board for more information as I've posted there a lot.</li>

<p>Did you see the core list? We have so many units in math/programming/statistics/economics. There aren't too many electives except in junior/senior year but it's really amazing how each class helps your overall business experience. I never knew taking Interp and Argument (english) would help me so much in writing my papers for supporting argument in Seminar Economics. </p>
<p>If I went for a MBA, I doubt things would overlap. I saw some of their courses and its really all upper-class real business stuff while right now we have courses that really let you think outside the box and apply high-tech programming/etc to problems.
I'm doing Econ/Business or Computational Finance. I hope that helps.</p>
