GT(Honors) vs. Tulane**Business**

<p>I really like both schools. They both offer something different. I would like input on what are the strengths of GT for business.</p>

<p>I am interested in international business, but not sure exactly what concentration in international. May be interested in business law... </p>

<p>Tulane would only be 3,000 /year</p>

<p>GT would be 10,000 /year</p>

<p>Really can't decide....</p>

<p>GT is known for engineer program not for business. With the strengthen MBA program, I don’t know how much the management program has been revamped, but management degree is known as the degree to pursue when you can’t pass engineer program.</p>

<p>I got my CompE degree and currently pursuing CS master @ Tech and while I was taking management class as my elective, I saw a guy filling up his corona bottle at water fountain inside management building. I think that summs up how serious management program is at GT. (Although this one guy doesn’t represent the whole management academia but compare to engineer class, management class is joke) </p>

<p>I think you will have better job opportunity @ GT if you plan on going into technical management. Also I never heard about Tulane.</p>

<p>Thanks for the disclaimer. Still, I have to stick up for my College. I applied to PhD programs in Business Administration last semester, and in February-March, I was accepted to two of the private schools in the [Top</a> 15 of this list](<a href=“http://somweb.utdallas.edu/top100Ranking/searchRanking.php?t=n]Top”>http://somweb.utdallas.edu/top100Ranking/searchRanking.php?t=n). I’d like to maintain some level of privacy, so I can’t say which two, nor can I say which field specifically, but tell me if you think any of the 10 private schools in the top 15 of that list aren’t elite.</p>

<p>You asked about the strengths of our College of Management for business. Unlike natural and applied science professors, business professors typically don’t have to write grants 24/7/365. Thus, our professors will not disappear after class. In fact, as long as you ask intelligent questions, they will be more than happy to answer them. At the same time, Georgia Tech is a research university, and the College of Management is no different. Our faculty are required to publish top-level research in top-tier journals within business, and they do. Lastly, even in a down economy, our graduates are reasonably successful in finding jobs. I know several alums and soon-to-be alums who have secured positions at Big 4 accounting firms.</p>

<p>We have a certificate program for [International</a> Management](<a href=“http://mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/prospective/con/cert_itl_mgt.html]International”>http://mgt.gatech.edu/programs/under/prospective/con/cert_itl_mgt.html), but I can’t tell you much about it because it didn’t interest me. If I were in your shoes, I’d pick Tulane even though I earned admission to a top PhD program from Georgia Tech. $7K a year for four years totals $28K nominally. If you want to go into business and not engineering, I don’t think there’s going to be much difference in starting salary for GT grads compared to Tulane grads, certainly not a difference of $28K / year or anywhere close.</p>
