What career opportuntities will I have if..

<p>I get a degree in Business Administration and have two concentrations in Finance and Accounting? The school that I am currently looking at does not offer majors in either Accounting or Finance. I realize some jobs require a degree in Finance or in Accounting, will I be out of luck if I decide on this path, for those mentioned jobs?</p>

<p>You can a lot with a Finance degree and Accounting will definitely aid you whereever you go with your Finance degree (think of Accounting as Math for Engineering majors). Generally, Finance is broken down to 3 categories:</p>

<p>Corporate Finance
-capital budgeting, risk control, etc.</p>

<p>Investments
-portfolio management, security analysis, etc.</p>

<p>Financial institutions
-investment banking, lending, etc.</p>

<p>Although I am an engineering major, and not a business major, I would advise you to double major in Finance and Accounting if you want to do business immediately out of college. You have a lot more opportunities in terms of job functions. The majority of companies looking for other business majors generally consider Finance majors. Of course, if you go to a college with a heavy emphasis on a liberal arts education (including top schools like Ivies,etc.) where they don't offer Finance or Accounting majors then your only choice would really be Economics. But then again, some of those schools offer Finance and Accounting courses under the Economics category.</p>

<p>No, the school that I am most likely going to attend WON'T have Finance and Accounting available as degrees. They are only concentrations in Bachelors of Business Administration. Thanks for your input though.</p>

<p>work in a bank.</p>

<p>I'm not sure but I'm guessing that the concentration would basically be your major. I would guess that a bba concentration in finance is just as good as a bs finance.</p>

<p>ya some schools just offer a business administration or economics degree with concentrations in different fields, so those concentrations are the same as majors at other schools.</p>
