<p>which school is best for business major? im canadian, so if i go to UBC it will be like 3 times cheaper......</p>
<p>I can’t comment on UBC but if its between USC and UCLA, I would go to USC for business. I love UCLA, but our business economics program can’t compare to USC’s networking/funding. Since you’re out of state, the pricing won’t be that much different. </p>
<p>On another note, why not UCB? If you can get into Haas (not easy), you’re in one of the top business programs in the country</p>
<p>
Despite popular perception in California, that’s largely untrue. Marshall isn’t considered that positively by recruiters, especially those OOS where UCLA is perceived considerably better. Neither UCLA nor USC are great for business relative to some universities with similar admissions standards, to be honest.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>The bigger question should be, where do you intend to work? </p>
<p>Unless you intend to live in California, I would immediately cross out USC. I’d cross out UCLA too since there are really better alternatives out there unless you really want to experience life in Los Angeles. </p>
<p>Berkeley’s Haas, while a notch better than UCLA, is actually pretty mediocre as well. I would probably never recommend Haas (or any of the aforementioned schools for the matter) to an OOS or foreign undergrad student unless they’re looking to study in California.</p>
<p>All the good internships are on the East Coast. US business schools I would recommend are NYU’s Stern or Michigan’s Ross.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about UBC but I’d presume that it’d be the best option if you intend to return to Canada or at least it wouldn’t be notably worse than UCLA.</p>
<p>^fair enough, I think I over hyped USC. I agree that where you want to work is essential in choosing the school, although I’m sure a top “US school” education is very impressive for foreign countries. </p>
<p>I disagree that that haas is mediocre however.
According to business week, its # 6 in the nation for the undergrad business program, which is very high.</p>

<p>If you want to study in CA, Haas is your best bet. Check the link if you want to see some good undergrad-b schools (lots on east-coast)</p>
<p>haas has rep, although i don’t know how well it’s rep is in it’s undergraduate program (although i’d assume pretty high) it’s MBA program was ranked third best in the world by the economist which is nothing to sneeze at. but then again, i’m not a business major nor extremely knowledgeable with business so take everything i say with a grain of salt, and do your own research.</p>
<p>you could probably get your undergrad in haas, and then do an internship on the eastcoast. i’m not sure if USCs/UCLAs schools are for undergrads, but assuming they all do i’d thank the three schools:</p>
<p>haas
marshall
anderson</p>
<p>By USNWR rank, it’s</p>
<p>Haas - 7
Anderson - 15
Marshall - 20</p>
<p>You’re rather unlikely going to get an East Coast internship at Haas, which is why I called it mediocre. The bulk of the students who want to do Business are looking to either get get onto Wall Street/IB. </p>
<p>Haas is considered either a semi-target or non-target by most firms. It’s not that the school itself is bad but the geographical barrier is simply too big to overcome. An overwhelming majority of Haas grads end up back in San Francisco.</p>
<p>Students who pick Haas merely based on its USNWR ranking or the like are often unpleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>It all depends what type of business you want to do. Accounting firms, including the Big 4, recruit very heavily from UCLA. I’ve experienced this first hand as I’m going through the process this year. I actually went to an Ernst & Young social and it was half UCLA half USC kids.</p>
<p>As for I-Banking and Consulting, you can definitely get recruited for that as well if you have a good GPA and a great resume. Business Economics is not as bad as people make it seem.</p>
<p>USC’s network is by far one of the best in the country. It’s not called the Trojan family for nothing.</p>
