UCLA Business Economics Investment Banking

<p>Does anyone know UCLA's reputation to investment banks with a Los Angeles office (and in general)? This is referring to UCLA's undergraduate major business economics.</p>

<p>........bump</p>

<p>not as reputated as Ross, McIntire............</p>

<p>but still good, big firms like MS, ML, JPMorgan DO go there to recruit.</p>

<p>but firms like lazard, greenhill, and GS may not.</p>

<p>Does one need to do Business Economics to do Investment Banking?</p>

<p>I'm thinking of going down the Mathematics and Economics road at UCLA and I thought that would be a little more practical. I'm not doubting Business Economics at UCLA of course, I'd like to get into the major myself but for now I seem to be leaning toward a double major in Mathematics and Economics.</p>

<p>no, any major will do, as long as you show you have the talent and skills to hack it in the IBanking career. </p>
