Undergraduate Business vs. MBA

<p>I am a high school senior applying to colleges this fall and I am not sure which majors/schools are the best for my interests. I am very interested in film/television production, but I'm not very sure about the financial stability of such a degree. I also like business/economics stuff as well though.</p>

<p>I would like some degree in business or economics, but I don't know if I should get a BS in that field, or if it would be better to double major in economics and television and then get my MBA.</p>

<p>I am interested in the television/economics degrees at Northwestern, the business/television degree at Texas, the film/economics at Columbia and the economics major at Harvard.</p>

<p>What are your thoughts on these schools and other possibilities? And what are your thoughts on Undergraduate vs. MBA Business Degrees?
(I have a 35 act and I'm in the top 1% of my class is this helps.)</p>

<p>MBA>>>>Undergrad.</p>

<p>The programs you listed sound good. Just do what interests you because you can get an MBA with literally any undergrad major.</p>

<p>Tip: Texas bases 75% of their admissions on class rank and is one of the top 3 best schools for job opportunities (huge pool of alum that go back to hire) so there's a very good chance you will get a film/television job right out of school.</p>

<p>I personally have very strong feelings on this. Undergraduate years should be spent studying something more fulfilling to you and your true passions.</p>

<p>Business should be a means to an end, a professional training. Doing business in undergrad will take time away from much-needed contemplation on our history, literature, art, science, and other things that define and enrich us.</p>

<p>I chose the BA and then MBA route later. So far so good!</p>

<p>Business defines and enriches us as well.</p>

<p>Major in one of your interests, something you're passionate about. You can get into business from any major. Especially if you graduate from one of a top schools like NU, UT, Harvard, Columbia.</p>

<p>Well I've been told that I can get an MBA with any undergraduate degree.
I've also been told that I don't need any type of undergraduate tv/film degree to get into the entertainment business....</p>

<p>So apparently I only need an MBA, haha.</p>

<p>I've heard that a business degree is very simillar to an MBA, so I am probably most interested in an Economics undergraduate degree.</p>
