BA in Economics or BBA?

<p>So if I’m understanding correctly, at Emory the best path to take would would be getting a BBA and a major or minor in either Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Quantitive Social Science, or Economics and Mathematics for the quantitive skills. Is there any other path I’m not considering, other than substituting the BBA for an Econ degree?</p>

<p>Also, I understand that a business major from an elite school is going to get hired ahead of the guy from say Ohio State and paid more out of college, but where’s the cut off? Would an Emory grad with a BBA and some good quantitive background still be competitive for the same jobs as students from big-name programs like Mendoza, Stern, or Wharton, or does Goizueta not carry much weight outside of the south?</p>
