<p>Specifically Rutgers. It says that they have a business program that you apply for and you go to the program for junior and senior year.</p>
<p>I have a question though. What's the difference between taking a regular Finance course and not getting into the program and taking the Finance course in the program while also taking all those core classes for the major and such.</p>
<p>The main thing is I don't understand programs in general as dumb as that sounds...is it basically various extra courses that I take so my major is more complete?</p>
<p>They won't let you take many busienss classes unless you are admitted to the school. Limited enrollment.</p>
<p>For the programs? I know that but if I'm accepted. What's the difference in taking regular Finance and graduating or going into the program?</p>
<p>What's special about the program vs. taking the same major but not being in the program?</p>
<p>What are you talking about "business program" ? You need to clarify this.</p>
<p>Rutgers</a> Business School : Curriculum</p>
<p>That's the specific one I'm talking about. But this or in general, what are benefits of the programs vs. getting just the degree without the program? Is it just those extra core classes and stuff?</p>
<p>..............bump</p>
<p>Isn't finance housed within the business school. You wouldn't be able to major in finance without the blessing of the business school.</p>
<p>But on the website it says that the Finance major is offered in both the Arts and Science college and in the Business college.</p>
<p>So the difference is that in the business college it's specifically for the business world which is why the other courses that are core classes are offered?</p>
<p>The business school is located within the College of Arts and Sciences. Admission into the finance program is controlled by the business school. Majors</a> and Minors - SAS Office of Academic Services</p>
<p>Some schools offer economics (and public administration and hospitality management) programs in two separate schools, but they're also typically two separate programs with their own core and major requirements even if they do draw from the same course list and professors.</p>
<p>So is it beneficial to be in the business program or no? Is one advantageous of the other?</p>
<p>For Rutgers, it would seem you have to be in the business program to major in finance.</p>
<p>As for taking econ as a liberal art or in business, I met a student today. Bright kid. AP'd out of the prereqs to take a 300 level class his first semester. He chose the business school for no reason other minors were easier to complete due to substantive overlap. I would imagine there's a certain level of prestige factor of being part of the business program. Arts and Sciences schools are far too large and diverse to hold earn that distinct reputation.</p>
<p>there is a honors program in the school of arts and sciences</p>
<p>for rutgers to major in any business field, you must apply and be admitted into the business program(there also is a 4 year at newark, if you risk living in newark for 4 years)</p>
<p>good luck</p>
