<p>I heard the JHU just started an economics/finance undergrad major. Does anybody know anything about this?</p>
<p>Also do they have an undergrad business program? If so, how is it rated?</p>
<p>They got a Economics department...and they have an entrepreneurship and management minor...but i haven't heard of a finance program.</p>
<p>Here is the story about the new Center for Financial Economics at Hopkins:
Johns</a> Hopkins Gazette | November 5, 2007</p>
<p>As the lead paragraph states, the plan is to ULTIMATELY offer an undergraduate major and minor ... it does not currently exist.</p>
<p>Hopkins does not have a business program. As GWB stated we offer:</p>
<p>Economics: JHU</a> Department of Economics : Undergraduate Program
Entrepreneurship and Management: W</a>. P. Carey Program in Entrepreneurship & Management</p>
<p>The Econ department at JHU, however, is very good. Many students go onto careers in finance. In fact, I think a lot of corporate recruiters think Econ is a better degree than finance because Econ is much broader whereas finance/business is quite narrow in scope.</p>
<p>That said, JHU is one of the least "Pre-professional" schools out there which is a huge draw. Students don't go to JHU to get a job later on, but rather learn, be challenged and explore. Great jobs are the result of that experience and not the driving force behind it.</p>
<p>a lot of kids here do applied math and statistics and economics</p>
<p>I do pure math and economics. but yes, many do applied math and economics. those are usually more interested in finance, and they are healthily recruited.</p>
