engineering --> cals (aem) ?

<p>I originally applied and got into the engineering school at cornell, but i think i want to study business (I sat in on a class at UVA's McIntyre)</p>

<p>i've heard that the land-grant schools at cornell are looked-down on a little- they are still way above most schools - but not as serious as CAS and Engineering.</p>

<p>I know rankings are not everything, but I dont see Cornell's AEM on any top ten rankings.. </p>

<p>do you recommend this transfer? Why/why not?
i understand that i wont be able to do this right away, but i would start taking business classes as electives asap in the fall</p>

<p>…you’re kidding right?</p>

<p>while rankings are stupid things to use to judge a program, we HAVE been featured in the top 10 in the past 2 years by businessweek.</p>

<p>4th last year, 8th this year.
3rd in student survey rank, 2nd in MBA feeder school, and all A+ in Teaching Quality, Facilities and Service, and Job Placement.</p>

<p>But you can still do business in engineering. Look up Operations Research and Information Engineering. It’s more math intensive, less “fundamentals of business management.” There are also concentrations in Finance Engineering, and a business for engineering students minor.</p>

<p>You can do an AEM minor in the College of Engineering. It is open to all majors EXCEPT ORIE, as they feel there is too much overlap in the content. That should tell you a little about what ORIE is about…</p>
