<p>Harvard does not have a business program, but students there seem to get plenty of internships and jobs.</p>
<p>Is this the case for most other schools (Like Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice)? If I don't want to go to grad school, will I still get a quality education and a chance in the job market if there is no business program?</p>
<p>You don’t need a business major to go into business. The schools that you mention above produce graduates with superior writing, communication and analytical skills that employers say they are looking for. Many business programs are weak in these areas, and business majors are over saturated. Exceptions are business major from one of the specialized schools with good reputations.</p>
<p>Often student who are looking for jobs in ibanking, consulting and other will major in Economics. Those firms also hire people strong in mathematics as they use models extensively. Some will major in a technology field and go into Technology Management. I know an engineer who went into management training at a large electronics/tech firm and on to run a department,a sociology major working at youtube; a creative writing major working at Creative Artists Agency.</p>
