<p>Well, economics? psychology? engineering?</p>
<p>Economics/business may prepare you the best but you can essentially major in anything, i think.</p>
<p>I remember at the career center at my undergrad school they had a list of pay for different majors. For the MBA, the average pay with a technical background, like say engineering, was 20K higher a year. Also, this being very unscientific, my brother is in a top 5 executive MBA program and a significant percentage of his classmates are Engineering majors.</p>
<p>The fact is, MBA admissions are heavily weighted towards your work experience, so the real question is, what sort of major will be likely to land you a job that will give you good work experience? And to that, I would say engineering/CS is pretty good. Busad can be good, if coming from a good undergrad busad school (but the bad undergrad busad schools are quite mediocre). Economics, maybe. </p>
<p>However, rather than obsess about that major is better, I would spend my time trying to get coops and internships that would improve my chances of getting a good job after graduation, so that I could get that good work experience. </p>
<p>And perhaps even more importantly, B-school is not 'automatic'. The fact is, very few people really "need" B-school. Plenty of people have excellent management careers without one. I would worry more about letting your career develop naturally, and if you find out later in your life that an MBA makes sense, then you should get it. But I don't know if it's valuable to specifically try to set yourself up for an MBA right from the get-go. Remember, you get an MBA to help you with your job. You don't get a job to help you get an MBA.</p>
<p>I've read that most MBA students had undergrad majors in either Econ, Math, Engineering, physics,and business. I would suggest Econ. because its a major that can land you many jobs AND it covers the business aspect. Also engineering is parth math part physics I recomend that as well...Econ, Math, Engineering, physics are the majors that open the most doors to any profession I think...</p>
