<p>As someone that may wish to pursue finance (as will be determined after taking some introductory economics courses), which program would best serve a student who wanted to be recruited into an undergraduate program/receive a recruitment at a major bank? </p>
<p>I feel I would be better served by an Economics major because I will have access to the full curriculum and will be able to more easily manage a double major with comp lit (with two languages), but only if future prospects aren't shot in the foot. That cutting of PhD funding is pretty sketchy, for econ. </p>
<p>What do you all feel?</p>
<p>If you will consider pursuing an MBA, I don’t think it should matter. GBS, is of course leaps and bounds above the quality of our econ. department though. Also, I wouldn’t judge the introductory econ. courses. I would judge the intermediate and advanced ones. Many of the intros. are not taught by the best (Banerjee is an an exception), but usually the advanced ones that related to the various econ. concentrations are fine. Also, managing the b-school and the complit major may be doable as long as you start knocking out complit requirements freshman and sophomore year.</p>
<p>If you can stick out, do math, CS, or physics.
If you can’t, go to Goizueta.</p>
