<p>So it came to my attention recently that columbia offers a business management degree. Does anyone have any insight on this, and how well it works with recruiters? </p>
<p>How would you compare economics vs financial economics vs business management?</p>
<p>This is the first year of the Bus Mgmt program. It is also the second year of the Financial Economics program. It is, therefore, hard for anyone to know how perceptions might change.</p>
<p>I should note that Columbia’s Bus Mgmt program is not a stand-alone. It is a Special Concentration, and in Columbia parlance that means that you have to either major or concentrate in something else - for many people this most likely will mean economics. So in effect it is an economics major where you also will take bus mgmt specific courses. Though you could do something else if you want - psychology, mathematics if you want.</p>
<p>I believe this is the first year of the Financial Economics program, as well.</p>
