Major/Minor/Certificates @ Duke and Dartmouth for consulting

College Search & Selection

<p>I am still having a tough time choosing between Duke and Dartmouth for finance/management consulting.</p>

<p>Duke has many more majors, minors, and certificate programs available including a finance concentration for econ majors, a Markets and Management Studies certificate, a Information Science and Information Studies minor, and a BS option for econ.</p>

<p>Dartmouth has a lot fewer majors and minors and only offers a BA for econ.</p>

<p>Is this something I should be debating or does it not matter much in the long run for job recruiting? What would be the best major, double major, or minor combination at either schools?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Duke and Dartmouth career surveys do not have by-major information. But they do indicate that 12.1% of Duke graduates and 15% of Dartmouth graduates who went to employment went to consulting jobs (though they do not list actual employers, so it is not obvious how many of these are at “elite” consulting companies).</p>

<p>Of course, now the boosters of each school can enter the thread and add anecdotal and speculative claims.</p>
