I am really planning on majoring in one or the other, finance or economics. My question is, How is hunter colleges economics program? is it good?/bad? Also, would you recommend for me to take economics in Baruch or Hunter?
And also if you want to tell me any additional information about the majors please feel free. (I would love to learn more about both economics and finance (jobs available? difficulty of the classes, worth it/not worth it) etc.
Baruch is definitely more reputable for finance. As for economics, baruch offers a b.b.a while hunter is a b.a., so if you have a preference for one or the other that could come into play. I’ve heard good things about finance at Baruch (lots of internship opportunities, good jobs after graduation, etc.). I know it is challenging but supposedly not as hard as accounting.
Overall, I personally like baruch better than hunter. I’m a baruch student but take 2 classes at hunter on epermit because they are liberal arts classes that I couldn’t take at baruch. Baruch’s “campus” is nicer than hunter’s in my opinion. Hunter is overcrowded. Baruch has more people walking around in business attire (suits lol) than hunter. But both are good schools. I’d say visit both and see which you like better. Also see which gives you more financial aid/scholarships.
