<p>I know it is ranked like 14th in the nation for business, is it better than say nyu economics at art and science?</p>
<p>I want to be in business-accounting and NYU economics is not really accounting. Can I get a job other than teaching with a economics major?</p>
<p>CSOM's accounting department is strong. The Big Four, even during this economic downfall, regularly recruit here.</p>
<h1>14 business school</h1>
<p>To answer your question, you can get a job doing anything with any major, it just depends on your training (internships). With that being said, the big 4 accounting firms are still looking to hire students. Last year, PWC alone hired 40 BC students and are looking to hire a similar number of students this year. Keep in mind that accounting isn't a very favorable major/concentration in CSOM so the number of students hired by PWC is extraordinary.</p>
<p>^How is accounting not favorable? A big chunk of students in C$OM are/were double concentrated in both Finance and Accounting.</p>
<p>To answer OP's question:
C$OM is awesome with Finance and Accounting. </p>
<p>Every other concentration, not so much.</p>
<p>CSOM has a killer network in Boston and New York, so if you have any interest in working in either of those locations and you come out of CSOM with a decent GPA you are set. I don't hear of CSOM kids freaking out about their employment prospects. Eagles love to hire other eagles, and there are lots of CSOM grads in good positions in the business world. It's definitely worth the tuition investment.</p>
<p>Let's be honest, in my managerial accounting class of 50, only 3 are accounting majors.</p>
<p>Can anyone speak about the nursing program ?</p>

<p>Carroll School of Management - #17</p>
<p>ouch 17 sounds not good</p>
<p>It's unfortunate how people judge a school by it's rankings in one poll. Most ranking systems out there are extremely subjective and it's best to use a multitude of ranking systems. Washington University in St. Louis, for example is constantly listed in the top 15 of the USNWR poll, but is nowhere near their ranking because they adjust their admission policies to suit the need of the USNWR rankings. Other schools such as Georgetown, Notre Dame, and BC don't get their due because of their religious affiliation. Heck, Forbes had BC listed as I think a top 10 school last year, which just shows you how subjective these rankings are. In the currently edition of Forbes' best colleges, BC (no. 32) is ranked higher than schools such as Rice (no. 41), UVA (no. 43), Tufts (no. 48), UC Berkeley (no. 73), and surprisingly UPenn (no. 61). Do these rankings dissuade you from applying to these magnificent schools? Probably not.

<p>All I'm saying is you should not rank a school based on subjective "statistics." The only thing you should take out of this is that BC's business program is a top 20 program within the US. As of 2 years ago, 87% of CSOM students who graduated were hired right out of college and a certain portion of those students opted to go to graduate school. BC has a great Alumni network and students regularly compete for jobs with other students from the ivy league, Duke, Georgetown and various other schools. You can't go wrong with choosing any of the top schools, but just don't let rankings affect your decision on where you want to go to school. I'm sure Reddune can attest to that.</p>
