<p>All, I’m about to give you a great program that is just what you are looking for in the mid-atlantic. Its called Drexel’s BS in Business and Engineering. One of the most unique and prestigious majors of its kind, anywhere. For those set on the engineering/business mindset, its a perfect combination and it comes in a 5 year program (with 3 co-ops). This is the major that I’m in and I can tell you we are the cream of the crop. Graduates of this program have the highest starting salary, and get managing jobs right off the bat at prestigious engineering firms or get competitive business jobs at places like Goldman Sachs or the big 4 accounting firms.</p>
<p>Quant is Huge everywhere, especially in business. You’ll take all the same core classes as engineers and business majors, and then get to choose engineering electives, and business electives. Its heavily math based and has almost a built-in math minor. don’t think its less intense than engineering, you won’t be getting out of chemistry, physics, etc. The program attrition rate is also high due to business oriented students not realizing they have to get through engineering at one of the best engineering schools on the east coast. However, its different than a specific engineering field like mechanical or electrical because instead of going in depth into one of those engineering fields, you get a broad based of all the different engineering fields by taking a variety of engineering electives.</p>
<p>Most typical is the BS Business and Engineering concentrating in Operations Management, but you can concentrate in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, MIS, Legal Studies, Entrepreneurship (drexel has a really good program), International Business, General Business, and much more.</p>
<p>The co-op program at Drexel is also like no other school and you’ll get placed in 6 month high paid internships that no other college will be able to place students in. If you are in the 5 year program, you’ll get three six month work experiences. In my opinion, nothing beats this. When I was 19 years old i was working for a big 4 accounting firm making quadruple times the wage i ever earned before.</p>
