<p>So all of college decisions have come out, and these three colleges are the main ones I am looking at. Of USC's Marshall, UC Berkeley's Haas, and NYU's Stern, what are the pros and cons of each of these business schools?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>The problem with Haas undergrad is that the degree selection is limited to just business administration. As far as the other two, it depends more on where you want to work. USC has a better following out west, while Stern has a following in the northeast.</p>
<p>USC both undergrad and grad are highly rated. Huge connection with alumni network especially in the west. 9 of 10 middle east finance ministers are USC grads, go figure! USC appears to be where its at w/regard to middle east, asia, pacific rim, and increasingly in the U.S. I really don’t think there’s much contest (of course that’s hyperbole). My dad taught econ at a major midwest public…so I don’t have any skin in the game other than oldest D is looking at USC seriously. Looks really good to us.</p>
<p>I’d disregard Marshall as it is in a league below the other two (Haas and Stern). </p>
<p>If you want to work in the East Coast, going to Stern may give you an advantage over Haas. But if you want to work in West Coast, Haas is the obvious better choice.</p>
<p>And if you want to consider campus life, and intangibles…better consider Marshall. Ask a LOT of questions about Haas, and lifestyle. And at NYC be prepared for city, city, and more city.</p>
