<p>Is this even considered a business program? Will I have any chance of getting into ibanking or finance firms with a degree in this major? I'm in the college of human ecology because I thought I'd be doing pre-med but I recently changed my mind and I decided to do business but I'm stuck since human ecology isn't business oriented except for maybe this major. is this major reputable at all and will it help me get jobs in the future?</p>
<p>No it is not a business program, it is a policy program.</p>
<p>And again no, NO MAJOR will guarantee you or forbid you from getting any job. Repeat after me. No major will guarantee you or forbid you from getting any job.</p>
<p>While I do not know enough about PAM to comment, the best course of action for you would be to wait until you get to school, talk with your advisor and go from there. It is very easy to transfer to CALS and declare an AEM major, or arrange a transfer to the Hotel School or ILR all of which would be the more "ideal" and typical majors for ibanking hopefuls.</p>
<p>the i-banking $$$ train is OVER</p>
<p>hey!</p>
<p>i will be a freshman this coming fall and am a PAM major. I intend to combine the PAM major with a minor (concentration... they're changing things up this year, no longer concentrations so you have more freedom...) in chinese (i'm not chinese/asian but i have been taking chinese for the past 3 years). I plan to go into international business and while this major is primarily involved with public policy/government type issues (think FDA, politics) a LOT of students go onto get MBAs and a fair amount (when i visited i learned about a bunch) who went straight into iBanking</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>
<p>remember you can always transfer to a different college (arts and sciences, AEM, or hotel) sophomore year.... internal transfers aren't that hard to do</p>
<p>How is the career counseling with PAM? Does it have it's own career center like AEM does? If it doesn't, are PAM students allowed to use the AEM resources?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to my question above?</p>

Majoring in Business at Cornell</p>
<p>There are opportunities to study business in varying capacities in six of the seven undergraduate colleges. All of the programs are prestigious, yet each offers a markedly different curriculum and experience.</p>
<p>Applied Economics and Management<a href="%5Burl=http://aem.cornell.edu%5DApplied%20Economics%20&%20Management/Cornell%5B/url%5D">/u</a>
First, other than undergraduates who study at Wharton (University of Pennsylvania) Cornell is home to the only other accredited undergraduate business program in the Ivy League - Applied Economics and Management. However, since this is found in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are a few minor science requirements, so it can be described as having a science twist. </p>
<p>School of Hotel Administration<a href="%5Burl=http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu%5DCornell%20School%20of%20Hotel%20Administration%5B/url%5D">/u</a>
Some students choose to study business in the School of Hotel Administration which can be described as a business curriculum with a hospitality focus. The hotel school also allows students to optionally fulfill certain concentrations (real estate, investment banking, marketing, management, etc.) </p>
<p>College of Human Ecology<a href="%5Burl=http://www.human.cornell.edu/che/PAM/index.cfm%5DHuman%20Ecology-Policy%20Analysis%20and%20Management-Home%5B/url%5D">/u</a>

Some students who prefer a more technical education, studying optimization, financial engineering, data mining etc. choose to study in Operations, Research, and Industrial Engineering which is a business based major with a engineering focus and can be found in the College of Engineering. </p>
<p>College of Arts and Sciences<a href="%5Burl=http://www.arts.cornell.edu/econ/mainwindow.shtml%5Dthis%20page%20has%20moved%5B/url%5D">/u</a>

<p>Johnson Graduate School of Management<a href="%5Burl=http://www.johnson.cornell.edu%5DJohnson%20School%20at%20Cornell%20University%5B/url%5D">/u</a>
