Penn State Economics/ VS ACCTING elsewhere

<p>Heres the deal, I can transfer to PSU and do ECON, and get an MBA in my later years or a MASTERS In ECON, </p>

<p>OR i can do a buisness major at Temple or SUNY ALbany. I just want to travel and be an exec one day....</p>

<p>? insight</p>

<p>can't you do business at Penn State? Their business program is very good - I've heard economics is weaker. Temple or SUNY Albany are both OK ( I have a minor in business from SUNY Albany and have done just fine). Atmosphere at the three schools is very different.
Penn State: Football, Party, lots of school spirit, fun in "happy valley", huge campus but very pretty in spots (the elms are gorgeous), COLD and snowy, friendly feel.<br>
Temple is still known as a commuter school around here - although they have quality programs.
SUNY Albany - Party school, gray, ugly (IMO) campus, cold, very little school spirit, split campus makes thinks difficult (uptown/dowtown). My teachers were remote and my classes were huge. But I still had a good time and learned enough to be successful.
Good luck!</p>

<p>toneranger, you can't externally transfer into smeal (penn state's business school).</p>

<p>if you're considering penn state university park, i would probably go there.</p>

<p>my uncle actually went to temple for undergrad and then on to wharton for his MBA. so everything is what you make of it.</p>

<p>just go wherever you see a best fit and the school that tailors to your wants/needs the most. those 3 schools aren't significantly better than the others, except for a slight edge for psu.</p>

<p>yaeh but what im not sure about, is how ill find a job with and eco degree from penn state related to accting since theres a high demand. I just wanna do buisness, prob consulting/banking</p>

<p>you can transfer into smeal externally. The exception is that you only have a year to do so. A year or more schooling will void any chance afterwards.</p>

<p>I know a guy who went to Penn State and in the end got an MBA from Harvard, so its not abd school.</p>
