<p>Just accepted to JHU off of the waitlist, already enrolled in Emory. I want to double major in Political Science and Business, which school is better for me?</p>
<p>I don’t know about double majoring w/business here (that could be really hard, political science is kind of rigorous/lots of credits and the B-School makes one take lots of classes at one time). I just know that Emory’s solid for both and that JHU is really solid for political science (location, location, location). I don’t know anything about JHU business (again, I just know ours is really good compared to most). Also, I don’t know much about JHU’s vibe or atmosphere. Did you like Emory when you visited, as in the atmosphere and stuff, or did you see it as a last resort compared to JHU b/c you just needed a top 20 for some reason? If you liked it, you maybe should stick with it. The difference in quality between the two isn’t dramatic, one just ranks higher and is of course more prestigious (JHU-especially in the realm of health sciences, where we do well also). If you think it’s worth dropping your enrollment here, then so be it. I’m sure if you post in JHU, they’ll convince you to drop your enrollment and that JHU is superior. It’s not my place to do that. All I know is that there are some similarities. The only difference I’ve “heard” of is that the “science” (pre-med in particular) fervor is even more dominant over there (here, apparently they comprise 22-28%, which leaves 72% elsewhere, with a decent chunk of them in the B-School). Even though many here are pre-prof., there’s more of a balance here (in terms of spotlight/attention). Take this w/a huge grain of salt though. This is just speculation.</p>
<p>Both are excellent schools but I don’t know enough about Emory to make a comparison. </p>
<p>FYI, JHU does not have an undergrad business school nor does it have an undergraduate business major. However there are some undergraduate business classes and a good econ program.</p>
<p>Oh, I went to the JHU website. Obviously I didn’t look deep enough. However, I thought it said something about a BS in business on the Carey Business school website (the b-school is apparently a new entity). Am I misreading this? Is it limited in the amount of business based classes offered?
Appears you folks have one:</p>

<p>However, doesn’t seem like it’s on the Homewood Campus.</p>
<p>That’s a degree completion program aimed at non-traditional students. I don’t have any great info on this, but I suspect it is a carryover from when the business school was part of the “School of Continuing Studies”. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for business courses at Hopkins, look at the Center for Leadership Education.</p>
<p>wow, well that’s confusing I guess. Couldn’t tell.</p>
<p>As I recall, the top ranked undergraduate business programs are Emory, Notre Dame, Penn and UVA (in whatever order).</p>
<p>I would think poli sci is comparable between Emory and JH. Emory does offer the Carter Center as a bonus, perhaps Jh has something unique too.</p>
<p>The educational quality of the polisci programs is probably comparable, but I will not lie and say that we have an “oppurtunity” edge. I mean, come on, JHU is really close to DC, so I’m sure they benefit from that. They probably have lots of speakers, events, etc. However, we do to, I just don’t know how often when compared to JHU. I’m guessing that things like the Halle Institute, and Emerging India Summit, help us. Also, our connection w/the Carter Center seems to have made the China-US relationship (amazing we hold conversations about this considering our really close association w/Tibet) a hot-button issue for lectures on campus. If anything, JHU’s campus may have broader focus of political issues b/c of its location whereas Emory deals w/particular issues that reflect who and what we’re associated with.</p>
<p>go to Emory!!</p>
