<p>I was thinking of enrolling in the CSB program. Would an accredited degree (I don't think this program gives a major degree?) be better than a major and another minor? Or perhaps even a double major? </p>
<p>I was thinking of majoring in finance and minoring/majoring in math or statistics before I heard of this program. I'm looking to go into sales and trading as a trader. Which one would be more beneficial? Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Hi AC24,</p>
<p>I am a current CSB student here at Lehigh. The CSB program is an accredited program by ABET and AACSB, so you don’t need to worry about accreditation. A CSB student is enrolled in the school of engineering and the business school at Lehigh. Before I came to Lehigh, I thought that the CSB program was a dual degree. It is just a single four year major degree that is honored by both the engineering and business school.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the CSB degree will open a lot of doors for you. The CSB program still has a 100% job placement rate. There are CSB grads who now work at Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. But, majority of CSB students go into the Big Four Accounting firms (Deloitte, KPMG, E&Y, PWC) for consulting in Wall Street. You could pursue a finance track or a mathematics minor with the CSB degree if you are interested in quantitative trading. I think that combo would make you the perfect candidate. From what I know about sales and trading, some investment banks, like Morgan Stanley and UBS, prefer candidates who have some background in programming languages, like C++ and Java. </p>
<p>You should read this webpage to learn more about the major : <a href=“Undergraduate Studies | P.C. Rossin College of Engineering & Applied Science”>Undergraduate Studies | P.C. Rossin College of Engineering & Applied Science;
<p>Ultimately, it is up to you. You can still get into S&T without enrolling in CSB. CS and finance are good tracks if you are looking into trading in your future career. Good luck.</p>
