<p>Well undergraduate business schools gives you the opportunity of choosing a concentration (after you've completed your general business courses), which lets you aim your advanced courses towards a direction of your liking. This gives you an option of choosing from concentrations like finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, marketing, management etc. Undergrad biz-econ programs - at least to my knowledge - are centered around economics and management courses. Biz-econ programs usually offer some minors, but don't offer the wide array of courses that undergrad biz-schools offer. </p>
<p>In terms of job opportunities and salaries, I think it really depends on what career you choose. If you're interested in I-Banking, it really won't matter if you come out of a undergrad biz or biz-econ program, you just have to be bright and fit the mold. BUT, obviously if you're looking to start your own company, graduating out of an Entrepreneurship program will have you a step ahead of a biz-econ major come graduation. </p>
<p>Personally if I had the choice between two good schools, one with a biz-econ program and one with a undergrad biz program, I'd go with the undergrad biz program because it gives you flexibility. I know a lot of people who go into the program wanting to be a I-Banker and come out in a completely different direction. If you decide you want to be, let's say a real estate developer, at least at a undergrad biz program you have that option.</p>
