<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>
