<p>I was initially interested in majoring in Finance and pursuing an MBA after. But my mom says it would make more sense to major in Business Administration and later go for a Master's degree in Finance. In essence I'd be learning the broad, general basics of business before diving into a specialty. </p>
<p>I'm asking because I wonder where companies looking to hire students would stand on this.</p>
<p>You should get/follow what YOU want, not what your mother wants (or thinks).
That being said, I’m not a business major, so perhaps others can weigh in.</p>
<p>I’m not doing what my mom wants. I like business. It’s a fun field that i would like to pursue. I’m merely asking for advise on whether it would be a smart idea to get a BBA first and then a Master’s in Finance as opposed to the other way around. If you can’t answer the question, then don’t post a reply.</p>
<p>There is no “answer.” We can only offer opinions.</p>
<p>It’s always good to specialize. So whichever specializes more, in undergrad and Masters, I’d do. Undergrad will be broad no matter what. </p>
<p>Worry about your Masters when the time comes, doesn’t matter now.</p>
