<p>Is there a website that contains information about graduate schools(M.B.A Progams) alumni attend from the business schools of Biola, Point Loma Nazarene, Claremont McKenna, and Pitzer? I already found Westmont's info on their website. Also is there a major difference between a degree in business administration and economics?</p>
<p>Yes,, there is a HUGE difference between a degree in business administration and economics. Econ majors are doomed to work in one of two places 1> a bank (if you are luckey) 2> Insurance companies.</p>
<p>Business is a much better major.
As for a website. I saw an artilce a few months ago..I'll look for the link & post...</p>
<p>Totally untrue, especially for top schools. You will do well with a degree from Claremont McKenna.</p>
<p>I agree with slipper... thats not true at all... econ is an academic study, not a professional one like "business"... theres nothing wrong with either one... econ will prepare you for a wide range of possibilities</p>
<p>I don't have the numbers to answer your question cddistance, but to refute lifeoncampus, there is no real required undergrad major for MBAs, so having a solid background in an academic subject like econ would be fine... i imagine there would be many redundancies in a BusinessAdmin undergrad/MBA combination (like, they have to teach the basics to all those who didn't take businessAdmin in undergrad)...</p>
<p>what is taught in an MBA is strictly for professional developement... the same is probably true for undergrad businessAdmin</p>
<p>econ is an "academic" area, more in line with all the rest of the undergrad majors</p>
<p>The majors are different but the job prospects are just about equal.</p>
<p>Slipper, how well will you do with a degree from claremont mckenna? can it get you into top business schools like Stanford and UPenn?</p>
<p>I am a Biola Graduate and I am going to USC (Marshall) for a dual MBA/MRED. </p>
<p>Another Biola Grad from my year is going to University of Virginia (Darden). Others have gone to Pepperdine, UC Irvine, UCLA and Yale. </p>
<p>That's all I am aware of for the MBA programs though - I am sure there are more out there.</p>

<p>that is so wrong, the best schools in the country who do the most feeding to companies do not even have business undergrad programs:</p>
<p>harvard
dartmouth
northwestern
uchicago
yale
stanford
princeton
brown</p>
<p>etc.
they all do a better job of feeding in the business world than most schools WITH undergrad business majors, except for maybe upenn and michigan, which feed EQUALLY.</p>
<p>I was an ANTHRO major at Dartmouth, got a job at an top 5 elite consulting firm and went as the youngest in my class into a top 5 MBA program. At the elite schools, you can major in almost anything and get a great job. Lifeoncampus isn;t coming from a top school perspective. No one from a top 15 school goes into commercial banking or insurance, never heard of it!</p>
<p>Most US corporations hire from and are run by state university graduates.</p>

</p>
<p>That's because most PEOPLE are state university graduates.</p>
<p>One poster implied that companies do not hire that many grads of schools outside of the Top 10. Obviously that was nonsense. </p>
<p>"Business is a much better major."</p>
<p>that is so wrong, the best schools in the country who do the most feeding to companies do not even have business undergrad programs"</p>
<p>^^ how is that me saying companies don't hire that many grads out of the top 10, that's just me saying schools that do best in the job market don't have business undergrad degrees.</p>
<p>you don't think the schools i listed get recruited heavier than state universities outside the top 30? all you have to do is look at recruitment statistics...</p>
<p>For what?? Here's a partial list of firms hiring this year at a non top 30 state school:
Accenture, Amreican Family/actuarial, Aon Corp., B of A, BDO Seidman, Best Buy HQ, Brady Corp., Brunswick Corp., Capital One, Cargill, Cigna/actuarial, Citigroup IB, Credit Suisse IB, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank IB, Digitas, Duff Phelps, Ecolab, Epic Systems, E&Y, Fidelity Mgt, Ford, GE, GE Healthcare, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Grainger, Grant Thornton, Harris Bank, Heitman, Hershey, Hewitt, Hormel, HSBC, Hyperion, Hyundai, IBM, Intuit, John Hancock, Johnson Controls, JP Morgan, Kimberly Clark, Kohler, Kohl's HQ, KPMG, LaSalle Bank, Lehman Bros, MacQuarie, McKinsey, Merrill Lynch IB, Nestle, Nothern Trust, Phillip Morris, Piper jaffrey IB, PPG, Pricewaterhouse, Prinicipal Financial, Proctor Gamble, Prudential Inv., RBCV Dain IB, RW Baird, Shell Oil, Sears HQ, Target Stores HQ, Toers Perrin, US Bank, Wachovia Securities, Wells fargo, VW America</p>
<p>i didn't say they don't recruit those schools but if you think penn state grads are getting as many or equivalent job offers to grads of harvard, dartmouth, northwestern, etc. then... i don't know what to tell you</p>
<p>You made it sound like Penn State grads would be selling newspapers on the sidewalk. They will get lots of good jobs with major companies. They probably won't be working on Wall Street but that is just one small part of the business world and not a job many would even want.</p>
