New Jersey Undergrad business school ?

<p>Hi, My son got into Rider, Rowan, Ramapo and SetonHall for business. But I'm not sure which has better business program. For undecided (except finance and accounting) business major, Would you suggest which is better school. Thank you.</p>

<p>The best school is the one where he envisions himself succeeding the most. Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity at all of them. There have been success stories at all of them, and I’m sure that they’ve all had some who fail.</p>

<p>Take a tour (not necessarily the guided one), tour the buildings (when classes are in session), eat the food, talk to students. Let him decide where he wants to fit in. </p>

<p>Thanks SpacemanEd . Actually, we are planning to visit them soon. We have already visited Rowan and it looks OK to my son. Any more suggestions please, relating to internships availability ?</p>

<p>I’m sort of in the same predicament. It depends on what he wants to major in. Rider is known to have a good accounting program, and Seton Hall’s Business school is said to be very good also.</p>

<p>In my opinion though, I would say Seton hall > Rider > Ramapo > Rowan</p>

<p>Rutger’s Business School would be better than all of them though.</p>

<p>My recommendation, regardless of the school - major in Finance or Acctg only. “Soft skill” majors like Mgt or Mktg hold little value. It is a nature vs nurture issue. Typically, Mktg/Sales and Mgt are either in your DNA or not. If it is already in your DNA, a major won’t help. If it is not in your DNA, a major won’t help either. Focus on hard skills to give the largest career flexibility, IMHO.
My take on UG Biz Schools in NJ: TCNJ = Rutgers NB>Rider>Seton Hall>Monmouth - don’t know biz schools at Ramapo and Rowan</p>

<p>I second that. any business degree other than finance or accounting is pretty much useless IMHO. Whatever you do, just stay clear of management, international business and the generic “business administration” thingy.</p>
