<p>I was wondering which is better in terms of education/getting a job after for a business major?</p>
<p>Northeastern.</p>
<p>Northeastern for sure.</p>
<p>To elaborate a bit on my previous post, Northeastern has an excellent co-op program, which means you’ll almost definitely have work experience in your area of study upon graduating, which is great. Right now, it’s harder for a graduate to land a job because there are so many people looking for work who already have experience, and co-op at any university is a great advantage (it just so happens that Northeastern has one of the best co-op programs in the country). </p>
<p>As for academics, look into the specific areas that you’re interested in. Both BU and Northeastern have good academics in general, but look at the rankings of specific programs (though co-op is a fine enough advantage, especially if you’re looking for a job right out of undergrad, that unless you’re going to study something that is VERY highly ranked at one school or the other, that I would go with Northeastern)</p>
<p>Funny, I’m almost sure I saw the same question asked in another thread, and the response was all BU. I don’t think there’s a clear answer.</p>
<p>The OP asked the same question on a BU thread so of course those responders would say BU. </p>
<p>You should visit both schools and talk to faculty and students to get a full picture of each school. </p>
<p>Also, if cost concerns you (or your parents), you need to consider what you get in grants and scholarships. Neither school is worth say $20,000/year more than the other.</p>
<p>When I applied last application season, I got into both BU and Northeastern. I ended up not going to either, so I think I can give you an opinion from an objective perspective… </p>
<p>Both have strong business programs, but I’d have to give the edge to NEU, especially for getting a job. By encouraging you to do a co-op, NEU is ideal for business majors who want to be employed immediately after graduation. Moreover, it is up-and-coming; it has been climbing the rankings over the past couple of years. </p>
<p>In regards to most other academic program, though, I’d give it to BU, just because of its well-rounded academic strengths and its reputation. </p>
<p>Good luck with your decision!</p>
