<p>Is it worth it to get an undergraduate business administration degree at a top school such as Wharton or Haas or is it better to go to a top school, major in something other than business but that may be quantitative, and then shoot for an MBA?</p>
<p>I'm currently not sure if I want to shoot for an undergraduate business administration degree. Thanks.</p>
<p>It is never wise to plan one's university education based on what you THINK you may want in 4 years. You are best served planning your university education based on what you know you want to do for the next 4 years. If you wish to double major in Literature and Math, or Political Science and Chemistry or whatever, do it. As long as you enjoy what you are studying and do well, good things will happen, especially if you attend a top university or LAC. This is the only time in your life where you are going to be able to explore a multitude of different subjects and disciplines...I hope you do not squander that opportunity. Once this time is gone, it is gone for good.</p>
<p>I wish to major in something business related but I'm not sure if it is wise to major in business administration as an undergraduate. I also wish to get an MBA in the future but whether I'll even go into business in the end I cannot be sure of that but at least I do know that business interests me the most.</p>
<p>I am also interested in this question since i was recently accepted into Haas School of Business. Would it be better to take UCLA Biz Econ? Or go to NYU Stern?</p>
<p>Anyone have an opinion?</p>
<p>are you saying a ba in business administration is worthless?</p>
<p>They're both obviously great school, pick based on fit and where you will be paying less. Another question is: Do you want Finance or Management? gl</p>
<p>I'm currently not sure. Maybe Finance.</p>
<p>see, suppose of someone likes both economics and business/finance and assume all other factors constant, which major has a higher chance of gettng into a top grad school?</p>
<p>Both. The other factors are much more important--grades, test, job exp.</p>
<p>NYU Stern, takes the cake easily if you can afford it.</p>
<p>Pre-medwannabe, what do you mean?</p>
<p>username01, I was responding to mschop, but the reason why I said NYU Stern takes the cake is because of the oppurtunities it offers over UCLA and UCB. Location, and Finance program and overall business program are second only to Wharton in my opinion. Name matters a lot in business and almost always recruiters ar biased towards private schools. Also, it IS better to do something quantitative as an undergrad and then go into MBA, but that is really for people who didn't get into the top undergrad business programs. I think you Would be fine with any Top 10 or 20 undergrad business schools.</p>
