<p>can you tell me average starting salary of finance major from UCONN?</p>
<p>If I had to venture a guess....I would say $44k. Contact Lorraine Liswell in the Business School's Career Center office. She would know for sure.</p>
<p>oh is see. that is very small</p>
<p>lol, very small?! Tushar....you crack me up..</p>
<p>for MBA school, many professors and top businessmen agree that economics, or any other non business foundation gives you a stronger grasp for MBA then a business concentrated major. As for the first initial job, business may be the way to go.</p>

<p>I must be speakng out of my ass</p>
<p>An undergraduate major in economics also can be ideal preparation for work on a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree at a graduate business school. Many graduate business schools prefer that their students have a broad liberal arts background, which an economics major provides. Also, a considerable portion of the MBA program is based on economics. Financial theory, for example, is largely applied microeconomics. Students with good backgrounds in economics are clearly at an advantage in many MBA programs.</p>
<p>Only about 30-40 % of MBA students are business majors, econ gives you the analytical skills needed to succeed in the MBA program that you won't ideally get with a Management or accounting major.</p>
<p>whatever makes you feel better....</p>
<p>I actually asked an economics professor while on a college tour of Rochester (very good econ program) about this... he said it's quite obvious while an economics major will prepare you for a more balanced education (it's a liberal arts major after all) and for getting a job later as a financial analyst or something more rounded in the business field, but getting a job as an accountant will be obv much easier as an accounting major, or going into marketing as a MARKETING major. </p>
<p>You are also usually required to take econ courses as a business major...</p>
<p>You asked an economics professor.....what did you think he would say? lol</p>
<p>yes, for more specific fields its obvious,</p>
<p>imo and for successfull businessmen i know, econ is a better choice.. </p>
<p>for the first initial job id def do finance or accounting only, but i plan on going to grad school.</p>
<p>do accounting or finance in undergrad, then do an MBA, even better</p>
<p>an MBA is an MBA who cares about undergrad?</p>
<p>An undergraduate degree in Economics is an excellent preparation for entry level jobs in both business and government. In addition, economics is one of the best majors for students intending to enter a master of Business Administration program because the economics major will develop both analytical skills and the broad liberal arts background which good graduate business schools are looking for in their applicants. For the same reason, economics is one of the best undergraduate preparations for law school. </p>
<p>i can keep going with these?</p>
<p>Well, I do not know how it is at other universities, but at UConn, Economics is for those who could not get into the business program. Also, undergrad business majors get a strong foundation in micro and macro economics. Take it from me, I went to UConn for four years. I know a little something about both types of majors.</p>
