<p>I know Stern has a big name. But somehow I picked the CAS. If I want to do Econ, does it matter if I do ti in CAS or in Stern (from a job and graduate school respective) ?</p>
<p>The admissions officer told me that I am fine but could transfer to Stern if I really want to later. Do I need to do that?</p>
<p>Your thoughts please...</p>
<p>They just concentrate on slightly different aspects of economics. From what I understand, CAS is theory-based while Stern is applied econ.</p>
<p>Thanks! So wall street only goes to NYU for Stern students, not CAS?</p>
<p>im also wondering the same…</p>
<p>Hey guys, international student from Malaysia who just got accepted into CAS! =) I’m also in the same boat as you guys here. Thinking of majoring in Maths and Philosophy… but wondering how job prospects are if we go to CAS. I mean, how bad can it be? Don’t tell me only Sternies get good jobs after they graduate???</p>
<p>It’s NYU. You’ll all get good jobs after you graduate.</p>
<p>I think some of you need to relax a little - of course you can still get a good job without a Stern degree; do you think most people who end up in business/finance, even the very successful ones, have degrees from Stern or Wharton and the like? Of course not. </p>
<p>Stern students have an advantage in Finance obviously, but most students in Tisch/Steinhardt/CAS/SCPS/Gallatin/Social Work aren’t planning to go into finance, so that’s irrelevant. </p>
<p>If you’re studying CAS-Econ, it’s a liberal arts major and theoretical, with a choice of policy based or the more quantitative theory based major. Stern is a business econ program, so it’s more applied econ. You can get the same job with either degree; make sure to get good internships and work experience while you have the chance.</p>
