<p>I know it's a new program at UCI and thus, it makes the outcome of success and all that pretty unpredictable.</p>
<p>Anyone studying in Paul Merage now who can give all us Business Admin. majors feedback?</p>
<p>Also! Can someone please clarify how the program works?
Basically, a play off of Haas right? Since next year's incoming freshman won't be able to declare a Business Admin. major, only a Prebiz major.</p>
<p>So basically, after undergrad at UCI? What next?
Apply to grad school? Chances of getting to a good business grad school after undergrad at UCI?</p>

<p>Just to clarify, the Paul Merage School of Business is NOT a new program (it was established in 1967 and it ranks in the top 50), the undergraduate major offered through the school is new.</p>
<p>MBA program is different than under business program. Those studying for under business are still taking their GEs, you probably won’t get much feedback, so you might need to do your homework by yourself There’s different field/area under business adm, the college is not necessary offer every single field. Goto the Paul Merage website, check out what specilizations it offers, are those suit your needs?</p>
<p>@ a_mom, there basic fields & areas they offer begin business administration and a minor in accounting does suit my needs. </p>
<p>The thing is I’m debating between three other colleges. Each with their own con factors, location, cost, programs, etc. (Being USC, Cal, UCSD).</p>
<p>@ haikumarukuchan, are those stats for their undergrad program? Because their undergrad program and their MBA program is pretty different, I would say.</p>
<p>@ spellingbead, thanks for the clarification! So I guess what I’m REALLY asking is: is their undergraduate major study any good?</p>
<p>forever09, are you considering accounting? If not, you should go to the best one you get into; If yes, where you go to college doesn’t matter that much in term of future jobs.</p>
<p>For Cal, you’re admitted as pre-major, you have 50% chance admitted into Hass when you’re junior (check Hass website for statistics)</p>
<p>For UCSD, I’m positive they don’t offer accounting. </p>
<p>USC’s under accounting is ranked 5th nationwide, I believe, at least somewhere there. But costly.</p>
<p>Considering accounting as a possible minor. So going to college won’t have much of an impact in terms of future jobs for accounting, what about a major in Business Admin.?</p>
<p>Probably no difference?</p>
<p>Cal, I know about the whole Haas situation, which makes me a bit reluctant in attending Cal. I’m not big on an Econ major & the location for me is the farthest of all.</p>
<p>SD only offers economics for business-related departments.</p>
<p>USC - I’m waiting for financial aid! Cost is pretty much what determines if I’m going there or not.</p>
<p>I don’t have much knowledge regarding job impact other than accounting. But many say the school does matter for other areas of business admin. For this, I suggest you check out the business major board for answers. Since you have accounting in mind, I also recommend the featured thread by taxguy “Accounting major - everthing you need to know …”, which is also under business major board.</p>
<p>USC has a reputed under business program. It’s even better if you’re not yet sure your future career goal since it offers many areas you can explore into. Good luck on your fin aid!</p>
