Double Majoring: International Business w/ Finance or Accounting or Economics

<p>I'm a senior in High School and I know for sure that I want to be doing International Business. </p>

<p>I also want to double major but I don't know whether to do finance or accounting or econ.</p>

<p>My view goes finance > economics > accounting, but I've heard a lot about how accounting is a really good major (but boring). My mom did accounting for a year and she could not stand it(Go figure, she moved to nursing which is completely different... haha).I'm also really interested in economics and I'm going to be taking AP Econ this year. If that goes well then I'd consider it even more.</p>

<p>Like I said, I like finance, but I'd like input from different people with a double major in business including 2 of these 4 majors. I certainly wouldn't mind extra input from those with a double major in any Business Major in general. Any input would be great! I</p>

<p>Absolutely no need to decide now . Once you start college in a business program you will need to take a core of business classes including subjects such as finance, economics, accounting, IT etc. This will give you the chance to 1) learn firsthand what subjects interest you, 2) see where your abilities lie, 3) get input from professors, and 4) talk to professional in the school’s career placement office before making a decision as to what your minor will be. It is nice to be focused, but give yourself room to figure things out once you start college.</p>

<p>Ok cool. Do you think that minoring instead is more useful and not a waste of time? I was thinking about minoring although I don’t mind putting in the extra work for the double major.</p>

<p>Again…your enthusiasm is great, but I’d relax a bit and just wait until you get to school and see how things go and where your interests lie. It is a good question, but the requirements vary from school to school in terms of core curriculum, classes required for a major, how easy it is to minor etc. so don’t make decisions now only to find that you’ve put yourself in a difficult position. </p>
