<p>I'm having trouble deciding between Duke and Rice.</p>
<p>I will be studying electrical engineering, but I am also interested in minoring in business. Can anyone help me out?</p>
<p>You should visit both.</p>
<p>Duke is very strong in pre-business. Not so strong in EECS.</p>
<p>Select the school with the lower transfer acceptance rate.</p>
<p>as someone who made the decision and went with duke, i'd strongly advise you to do the same. texas is kinda on a different frequency and duke has much, much more name recognition (also much better showing on wall street, if you're into that sort of thing). plus, the kids at duke are a bit more normal/social and, in my subjective opinion, better qualified. that said, you will get a great education at either one</p>
<p>Erm... not sure why you think Duke ECE is weak. And we don't have a pre-business program.</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>duke is strong in pre-business, but doesn't have it.</p>
<p>thanks for the help everyone</p>
<p>Incollege, I agree that Texas is a totally different place than NC, but I've heard that Rice is not that "Texan" as far as these things go... I think the OP should visit both. If he/she can't afford the airfare, the colleges may spring for it if you ask nicely :)</p>
<p>To maybe go further - there are degrees that tend towards preparing for business school - economics, public policy, political science, for example - that are quite strong here. And econ is one of the most prevalent double majors for engineers. If that helps :-D</p>
