Majors in Wharton

<p>for a male who will be in wharton for undergrad what majors would you recommend?</p>

<p>i don't really know what majors i would find interesting.....in terms of salary, job placement, eventual job hours....what are the best majors (i know many people are doing finance/consulting --> i-banking)</p>

<p>i am considering finance with a minor in actuarial math...does anyone know about minors in actuarial science</p>

<p>how would YOU rank the majors in wharton based on eventual jobs/salaries?</p>

<p>I'm not gonna get into ranks, but I can tell you it is easy to do different concentrations (Wharton doesn't have any majors). It's just four classes.</p>

<p>can someone give me some sort of rank.....if you personally were going to wharton for undergrad....what would be your concentration/major/minor</p>

<p>Something ridiculous like 90% of Wharton students concentrate in one of three: finance, management and marketing, with 75% or so in finance alone. Odds are you'll fall into one of those just like everyone else. Honestly, those 3 are the best options for a first concentration, because you'll have a hard time finding enough classes in the other areas. </p>

<p>And Sachmoney's right. It's 4 classes. It won't decide your career. Ranking them is stupid, because you can't compare them. They're different subjects.</p>

<p>Finance, OPIM, and Stat ftw</p>

<p>Worry about this in 2-3 years. Honestly. You'll figure out what you like from the core and other requirements.</p>

<p>And why minor in actuarial math when you can just concentrate in actuarial science. In my mind the actuarial science minor is really for College/Engineering ppl. If you want pure math, then minor in math and double-count Wharton classes as cognate courses.</p>

<p>i am considering an actuarial sci major but many people say that it is a very small department and the field is based on basically passing the exams.....so i was thinking finance..with a minor in act. sci so i could still attempt the actuarial exams (which i hear are very difficult)</p>

<p>I would like to pursue Business & Public Policy, but I know it is a smaller department, which would probably lead me to pick up Finance first. Even if I'm able to get my BPUB classes, I'll probably still add Finance later.</p>

<p>Also looking at a submatriculation to Fels, then shoot for law school. It will be fun looking at this down the road and see how much pans out for me. I may find trying to maintain a good GPA for law school just too hard and change my mind.</p>
