<p>I know you do not declare your major until sophomore year but I already know what I want to do. I want to either major in accounting and finance and possibly minor in international business. I have yet to visit the schoool of business so I do not know what they offer. I saw a post that they do not have an accounting major for undergraduates but then i saw another post where there is a major for it. does tulane also allow a student to minor in international business as an undergrad? thanks.</p>
<p>not related to tulane: what major is technically a "better" one to major in?</p>
<p>Tulane is extremely strong in accounting and finance. The Dean of the school, who started a couple of years ago, came from U. Illinois, where he was one of the country’s leading scholars on accounting practices. Tulane also has some strong initiatives in international business.</p>
<p>Personally I would recommend majoring in accounting/finance <a href=“http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_entity.php?catoid=41&ent_oid=2295&hl=accounting&returnto=search[/url]”>http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_entity.php?catoid=41&ent_oid=2295&hl=accounting&returnto=search</a> and either minoring in international business or double majoring. I am not sure exactly what they call the latter, but you should be able to talk to someone at the business school and find out rather easily. <a href=“http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/programs/int/default.php[/url]”>Graduate Degree Programs | Freeman School of Business | Tulane University | New Orleans; But it seems to me that having your major in something specific like accounting is a stronger way to go for job prospects.</p>
<p>I have to agree with FC- if you have the ability to do accounting/finance - do it! It’s a great field and one that has not been hit too badly by the economy. You don’t need to worry about this now but make sure you do a few internships along the way. There Are fantastic opportunities out there for accountants. Even at the little dinky dink college where I work, our qualified accounting grads (GPA is vey important) are getting offers from the Big Four, the IRS and on Wall Street. If you are considering adding in that Internatiinal Business minor/second major, think about adding a language too. Students fluent in other languages are even more valuable in the job market in just about every major.</p>
