<p>Baruch's Zicklin school requires you to have a liberal arts minor. I am wondering, which option would be best beneficial for an accounting degree?</p>
<p>Here is the list.</p>

<p>Depends on your interests and talents…it probably doesn’t matter a whole lot</p>
<p>One of the things I dislike about Baruch is that I can’t double major (or even do a major/minor) in finance and accounting. I’m forced to pick a stupid liberal arts minor instead, and frankly none of those minors interest me.

<p>NYCguy2020, one of the biggest complaints that I get from accounting firms and corporate recruiters is that many applicants can’t write a cohesive memo or read well. Frankly, I agree with Baruch’s policy. You will be MUCH better off majoring in a discipline and minoring in something that will improve your writing and reading skills. </p>
<p>When I was your age, I felt as you did. However, now that I am older and have a LOT more experience, I have changed my view on this and feel that minoring in a liberal arts subject that improves writing is very useful.</p>
<p>You have two choices: pick an unusual minor that will show depth and reflexion, such as philosophy; or pick something quantitative like statistics – or perhaps computer science. Check out Cal Newport’s “hacks” to get ideas.
Oh, and: listen to Taxguy. He could be your future employer (or employer’s boss.)</p>
Can people from Baruch double major if one is a liberal arts degree and the other is a business degree?
No double major at Baruch.
