<p>im going into Stern in the fall as an undergrad and now is the time to start creating the schedule........i know that what you major in isn't really important (so long as it is in the basic buisness field) rather your gpa, etc. but i was wondering what majors every has taken to get into IB or plan to take to get into IB</p>

<p>majoring in Finance goes w/o saying but what else.....accounting, economics (economic theory or that other one?), Math?........obviously that would be for a double major</p>

<p>can you double major and minor? or what would you minor in?</p>

<p>I'm definatley going to study Finance, and I currently and leaning towards doubling with economic theory, and also minoring in math if possible but i really have no idea how many credits this requires, if it's possible, etc.</p>

<p>essentially what else would you double or minor with in addition to finance?</p>

<p>I would love to know the answer to that one as well!!! in terms which one help you the most? doubling Econ with Fin or Acc with Fin or Math with Fin or simply focus on Fin only??</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>If you’re doing I-banking, accounting is far more practical than economics, however econ would certainly be more interesting in my opinion. But if you’re going for straight knowledge to prepare you for the profession, take accounting.</p>
