At a crossroad...Any advice?

Colleges & Universities University of Maryland - College Park

<p>So I have just been accepted in to UMD as an Economics undergraduate. I applied for the Accounting program but unfortunately was not accepted. I applied as a transfer as I will be graduating from Montgomery College in May with my Associates in General Studies.</p>

<p>Basically I am crossroads on whether to go to UMD and major in Econ or go to University of Maryland University College(UMUC) and major in Accounting. </p>

<p>Although I do enjoy Accounting a bit more then economics, I am a bit worried that UMUC’s name doesn’t hold the same weight as UMD. My main concern is my marketability in the work force.</p>

<p>Any advice? Any is appreciated. Thanks</p>

<p>Now this is a hard one. Both degrees can lead to a good job. Dh graduated from UMUC and it has done nothing to keep him from getting a better positon and pay. I graduated from UMCP with a business degree but I have not done well. I would choose the major and college based on what you want to do once you are done.</p>
