<p>To an employer or in general, w.e...</p>
<h1>1 BS in Accounting and Finance (Finance Major,) with a concentration in Finance</h1>
<p>from average state school</p>
<p>or</p>
<h1>2 BS in Economics and a minor in both Accounting and Finance and a minor in Communication Studies</h1>
<p>from same average state school as above</p>
<p>^oops,thats a redundant “both.” the minors are Accounting and Finance and Comm. Studies</p>
<p>the first one also has a minor in Comm Studies…damnit…</p>
<p>As an economics major, I’d say definitely go the first route. There are FAR more jobs posted that have a requirement of “Finance Major” or “Accounting Major”.</p>
<p>Econ grads make good money, but it’s hard to sell themselves as easily, especially for companies / job search software that looks for specific majors.</p>
<p>That’s what I’ve been finding out online. The only reason is if I go the second route (Econ major, acfi minor,) I’d graduate sooner and also not have to take a whole bunch of management courses that I don’t want to (I think they’re pointless.) Also, I feel economics is far more challenging and employers would recognize that.</p>
<p>I also figured if I went the ECON way, I’d do a masters program (hopefully only a year) in Finance. They seem to be more focused on the classes I’d want to take/the ones I’d need. The only problem is I don’t have calculus. Do you think I could get into an mfin program graduating at least cum laude with an Econ major and ACFI minor?</p>
<p>bum…p???</p>
<p>The first one! Although an econ major allows for a more diverse choice of career</p>
