<p>Which major would best prepare one for the business market upon graduation, Duke Econ or UNC Business (undergrad degree)</p>
<p>either…
you should be looking at fit instead, they are quite different schools</p>
<p>Duke is much more represented on wall street</p>
<p>Duke hands down (and this is coming from a UNC basketball fan btw). Kenan-Flager is pretty solid, but Duke definitely has more of a universal “wow” factor than UNC. Now, if UNC is giving you a lot of money, that could make this decision slightly more difficult, but I still think that ceteris paribus, Duke will offer more opportunities.</p>
<p>OP, if you would like to live and work in the Carolinas, there’s no different between the two. If you go national – especially aiming at Wall St., high level management consulting jobs etc., Duke would probably serve you better, IF you make the grade. Remember that the overwhelming majority of Duke grads can’t to get those jobs as well.</p>
