<p>I wanted to transfer to Chicago for my junior year, but I am a little bit confused about the business program. What school i should apply for if i interested in finance, management?</p>
<p>Undergrad: the College
Graduate: Booth School of Business</p>
<p>Northwestern.</p>
<p>^ Weinberg, MMSS and/or Kellogg Cert.</p>
<p>Seriously, </p>
<p>(a) The University of Chicago doesn’t have an undergraduate business program, which is why you may be confused about it. Some people (including me) don’t believe an undergraduate business program is a good thing, and there are lots of such people in the University of Chicago faculty and administration. You can cobble together a program for yourself in finance from an economics, math, or statistics major, and you could probably do the same thing with management from psychology or sociology. You can take a few courses at Booth, Chicago’s business graduate school. You can participate in the Chicago Careers in Business program. But if you really want to study business as an undergraduate, and you have a choice, you should go to an institution that is enthusiastic about teaching it.</p>
<p>(b) It is very hard to transfer into the University of Chicago as a junior and finish in two years. To graduate, you are going to have to go through the Core Curriculum, and the chances are slim (or none) that anything you have taken to date gives you much credit toward the core of the Core. That’s almost a year’s worth of courses that won’t count towards your major. (And that will have nothing to do with finance or management.) Chances are that you won’t want to do that.</p>
<p>(c) Northwestern doesn’t go whole-hog on business training for undergraduates. Its business school doesn’t offer undergraduate degrees (unlike Wharton, or various public university business schools like Ross, Haas, Darden). But it does offer certificate programs for juniors and seniors that supplement traditional liberal arts majors like math or economics. So if you want to transfer as a junior to an elite university in Chicago to study business, that may be a better way to go.</p>
<p>i know i have a long way to go, but i gotta give it a try. I wanted to do investment banking after college. i was told chicago is one of the most target schools for investment banking. Does chicago have economic major or finance major for undergrad?</p>
<p>UChicago’s econ and math departments are both fantastic (both have undergrad degrees). No finance degree (though I feel like I recall hearing about a 5th yr option for math majors to do something in finance).</p>
