<p>I apologize if this topic has been discussed before, but I couldn't seem to find any similar threads. (I honestly didn't look that hard) But how important is an undergrad business school to recruiters? </p>
<p>I've seen the term "target school" thrown around a lot usually referring to Wharton, Ross, Stern, Haas, and Sloan due to their enormous recruiting opportunities. But what I'm wondering is, would these recruiting opportunities be unavailable if I went to a school like Duke or Harvard? Could I major in something like math or economics for similar job opportunities at either of these schools?</p>
<p>I'm just curious because certain majors/degrees (such as english literature, women's studies, etc) hold less weight when it comes to getting a job usually and I'm curious if the same would hold true with a major in math or econ vs. a major in finance.</p>
<p>I'll pretty much just summarize my questions:</p>
<p>A: How much will job opportunities differ from top undergraduate business schools than from other top colleges right out of school?</p>
<p>B: What majors from non-business schools would lead to a large amount of possible job offers in the business field?</p>
<p>C: If work experience is important to be accepted into an MBA program then would you gain that experience best coming out of an undergrad business program?</p>
<p>D: If my eyes are set on getting an MBA in the future, then does the undergraduate school/program even matter that much?</p>
<p>E: Are there "target schools" without business programs?</p>
<p>I apologize if I'm getting repetitive or am rambling, it's pretty late. And if I am repeating already answered questions, feel free to post links to them. Thanks!</p>
