<p>Naturally, I would have to apply to the undergrad business school at UVA when the time comes, and I would be studying Economics at Northwestern, but given that, which provides the best post-graduation opportunities in the Finance field (not necessarily I-banking)?</p>
<p>For Ibanking, all three are equal. Investment banks want smart people and would train them anyway.</p>
<p>For Finance (excluding Ibanking), I would give the edge to UVa, since it actually has a undergraduate business school and a top 10 finance program as well. When the finance department of lets say, P&G, recruits people, they DO prefer applicants with a considerate amount of knowledges concerning finance.</p>
<p>On the other hand, NU's econ dept does have quite a few finance courses. NU's 4th-ranked industrial engineering and management sciences dept even have courses like financial engineering I and II (more hardcore and quantitative than regularly finance classes).</p>
