<p>What about Real Estate or Risk Management? UW ranks 2nd and 3rd in the country, respectively, for those business majors. They created the entire real estate curriculum!</p>
<p>I chose my college based on financial reasons; believe me, USC invited me into their Marshall Honors program and in their film/business joint program. The central administration then gave me 0.00 in financial aid. Wisconsin’s average cost is 18,000 a year. USC’s was 50,000. Guess which one I go to.</p>
<p>That being said, if we compare Illinois to Wisconsin, both of them are great regional undergraduate business schools; in the midwest, only Michigan really beats them, IMO. </p>
<p>Finally, for finance, you really need to attend an east coast target school(NYU Stern, UPenn Wharton, even Cornell AEM), or another elite school, to get a fair shot at a Wall Street investment banking career. Very few IB’s recruit at the Wisconsin School of Business.</p>
