Question about Major, Help Please

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>I will be studying at UT in the fall at the Liberal Arts school.. I may possibly major in Geography + minor Philosophy (or Economics)..Also, I definetly want to learn a few languages and study abroad.</p>

<p>My question is.. I really would like to go onto Grad School and study Business. However, by me going into the Liberal Arts program.. will I be able to compete with kids who will major in Undergrad Business? Will I be hindered by my choice of Liberal Arts rather than McCombs?</p>

<p>I am aware that anyone can sign up for pre-law/pre-med courses... But I really dont think thats for me.. Instead of those options (prelaw/med).. could I possibly take Pre-Business courses (if thats such a thing) to prepare me for the GMAT test?</p>

<p>Will this work or am I just being silly?</p>

<p>Edit---</p>

<p>Maybe I should just finish off my first year and then try to double major with something in the McCombs school?</p>

<p>I dont know, I'm so helpless. haha</p>

<p>GrR!</p>

<p>The most important thing to remember is that if you want to get an MBA, you don't go immediately from undergrad - I know that McCombs requires 2 years of post-baccalaureate work experience, and many schools require or recommend more.</p>

<p>Your major does not make as much of a difference - 3 most important factors in admissions to MBA programs are work experience, GPA, and GMAT scores.</p>

<p>You could always try and do a dual-degree in McCombs if you are set on liberal arts, but you would need a lot of AP or dual credit from high school to graduate in 4 years because of the large amount of required business courses. Also, look into the Business Foundations Program.</p>

<p>Great thanks!
Maybe I'll just hold back on the Business idea for now.</p>

<p>Oh Is it too late to get into the Plan II program?
Or can a student transfer into it if they do incredibly well their freshman year?</p>

<p>It's really hard to transfer into P2 but it is definitly possible. Supposedly they take 2-3 transfers a year. One of my friends did it. He's obviously very bright and took many honors courses even before he was accepted into P2.</p>

<p>If you're interested in business then just try to internal transfer and double major with a liberal art + business major.</p>
