Undergrad majors - differences?

<p>Hi guys, what is the difference among:</p>

<p>accounting
entrepreneurship
finance
insurance
supply chain management/logistics
international business
management
management info systems
marketing
production/operations management
quantitive analysis
real estate</p>

<p>i realize some of these are not undergrad majors (but i don't know which)
if so, can you state which of these are grad majors? </p>

<p>and also i just want a quick summary of what each one is because i am not so sure! thanks</p>

<p>bump :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I don’t want to be rude, but if you google each one you will get a lot of information. (ex. business major finance etc.) Then look at some college catalogs and see the courses you need for different majors (and look at course descriptions) . In addition, if you go into a business school you will take a business core curriculum with introductory classes in a number of areas before you need to declare a major.</p>

i understand completely but the fact of the matter is that i have searched these different paths but i am not so sure! </p>

<p>bump please!</p>

<p>In a two minute google search of “description of different business majors” I found this:
<a href=“Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos”>Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos;
<a href=“A List of Business Degree Options”>http://businessmajors.about.com/od/degreeoptions/a/Business-Degrees.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It’s people like OP that make me wonder how they used the internet to find this site.</p>

<p>Yeah, you gotta learn how to search/find answers for simple questions such as these. GOOGLE is your best friend.</p>

If you don’t have anything nice to contribute, don’t. It’s that simple. Yes zhanger, it’s people like you that make me wonder why people like that even exist at all!</p>

<p>@collegeballerina What you don’t realize is that all of the above posters like @Zhanger‌ and @NYCguy2020‌ do have something important to contribute, you are just not listening. Every single responder has the same comment – that you need to do some research on your own using sources like internet searches, college websites and online course catalogs etc. It is ridiculous to think that a poster will define 12 majors for you any better than what can be found online. In college nobody is going to do your research for you so it is best you start learning how to do it now. </p>

<p>Honestly, look at the names of the major and thats what it is. the only tricky one are are ,supply chain management/logistics,production/operations management, and management info systems.</p>

<p>SC management is is basically being a middle man for your company to the goods that it carries (like walmart, for example, gets all of their stuff from Chinese companies and you would set up and manage the trade route from the factory to your buisness)</p>

<p>MIS/MIT is managing the IT (computer) network/people</p>

<p>PO Management i believe is running the said Chinese factory that walmart gets its stuff from.</p>

<p>Im following everyone else in saying do your own research though. comeback when you need advice, or you are trying to get an answer that isn’t easily available on the nets. this website IS NOT here to do your research for you when the information is fairly easy too find and is solely for chatting and advice. although many people here are more than willing to give you a link too payscale.com or a website that offers simple explanations (I quite enjoy About.com, <a href=“A List of Business Degree Options”>http://businessmajors.about.com/od/degreeoptions/a/Business-Degrees.htm&lt;/a&gt; ).</p>

<p>Good luck though :)>- </p>

<p>@Ultimablade‌ - I gave the OP that and one more website in the 6th post on this thread and @happy1 also suggested looking at school websites to get information about majors and classes that need to be taken for different majors.-- got not a word of thanks nor did it seem to spur the OP on to do some research. </p>
