<p>Does TU have a good undergraduate program for someone interested in going in a business direction? </p>
<p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>“Business” is a very broad term that could mean one of many unrelated things.</p>
<p>What specifically do you want to do? Entrepreneurship in a certain field? Administration in a certain field? Accounting? Financial Services? etc etc</p>
<p>good point; but that brings me to what i’ll add as part 2 of my question. I’m not exactly sure what i want to do - So I guess i’ll rephrase and ask if Tufts is a good place for an undergrad with an interest in something in the business direction, but who is not yet sure of exactly what.</p>
<p>Tufts has no business school or department. There are courses in related fields, but I think the few business classes offered are mainly excollege courses. So there would be some business opportunities, but my understanding is that they’re fairly limited.</p>
<p>I could be wrong here but I was under the assumption that most “Business” undergrad programs referred to training in boring sub-50k/year jobs, and business schools like NYU Stern or UPenn Wharton offer much of the same undergrad programs as non-business schools.</p>
<p>Successful entrepreneurs like Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, would usually study a trade skill such as computer science or engineering then move into the business aspect of it once they graduate.</p>
<p>I believe (no-trade-skill-business-only) Donald Trump’s undergrad major was economics? which you could study anywhere.</p>
<p>However most successful “business” people you’ll meet in real life are people who got their MBA, which has nothing to do with your undergrad major. These people again would usually learn a trade skill prior to business school.</p>
