That may be, but many add a Master of Accy to disguise the fact that they don’t have a degree from Gies.
Also one more piece of advice - there is a “Kelley Insider Newsletter” that I subscribe to that provides information on all of the activities going on at Kelley - club meetings, networking opportunities, study abroad meetings etc. This provided me awareness of these activities and I could nudge my son to take a look especially in the first two years as many kids are not used to looking at all of their emails and managing their time. I would imagine most universities have this type of information available to parents.

For anyone going to the Gies admitted students day on March 23rd, below is the tentative schedule of events and activities. This is for the afternoon session, but I was told it is the same for the morning group that starts at 10am. Apparently the campus wide event on April 20th is fully booked.
12-1 PM: Housing tours at Nugent Hall
2-2:45 PM: Check in and Business Instructional Facility (BIF) tours
2:45-3 PM: Official Welcome
3:15-4:30 PM: Information sessions (academic programs, student support, opportunities, and community building)
4:45 – 5:30 PM: Admitted Students will learn more about Gies, while families and guests will learn more about student success and outcomes
5:30 PM: Program concludes

Employers see the undergrad degree on the resume and transcripts…there is no disguising going on. What evidence do you have that students are trying to fake a degree they don’t have? If someone has qualified as a CPA nobody cares who/what/where. Totally inside baseball…
5 posts were split to a new thread: Help me decide which business school
Any views on Purdue’s business school (Daniels)
I think some of the courses have OPT-STEM…Business analytics…recently i think lot of focus on Business and technology
at Purdue?
If you subject Major is STEM Subject…Purdue has double major option…so you can Take Major in AI/Data Science/Acturial Science …infact Acturial Science would be great combo
will taking finance and data science as my speciality at gies be considered stem
Is that the major UIUC admitted you to? I don’t know the answer for OPT extra two years…you would have to ask someone at UIUC…I would start with the career center or academic advising office.
ETA: Here’s the current STEM list https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/stemList2023.pdf

I can choose my own speciality
All the majors mentioned are stem? Even if they are in the related CIPs? Like I can see economics and econometrics on the last page, so will that also be considered stem?

Trying to decide between OSU fisher (direct admit) versus IU Kelley (standard admit —waiting for petition). Also some ACC schools and SEC schools in the mix—NC state, Auburn, Syracuse, South Carolina. Finance major. Thoughts???
We visited Kelley & Syracuse for finance. I really liked ‘Cuse — I like the house system to get business kids involved first year. It seemed a little less internally competitive than Kelley. Top 10% of finance kids get on orange fund and then get jobs in NYC (similar to the Kelley paths to NYC finance).
For my S24, he wanted less snow and is thinking he’ll go to Chicago post-college. He ended up not applying to Syracuse, in part because of snow and Chicago pathway, but also because he did EA apps first and by November he lost the drive to put in more apps. Originally he was going to apply to Syracuse, BU and GW. But after putting in 5 Big10 apps (and hearing back from IU and MSU) he was happy with his options.
Also I think it started to sink in … sure I can come back to Chicago from any school, but will it be easy, will my roommates and friends also be moving to Chicago … At D22s school lots of kids go to NYC and she’s seeing that it’s tough when all your friends go get apartments together and you move back across the country.
What area of finance is of interest?
If she’s going to be a financial analyst at a regular old company - doing incentive planning, analysis, etc. likely doesn’t matter. If looking at a career in banking of some sort, may not matter…but investment banking, may be a different answer, etc.
These schools are different sizes (even the b school), evnironment, weather - does any feel like home for her?
Schools like IU, Michigan and Wisconsin send a larger % of their business students to Chicago and NYC than Indy, Detroit or Milwaukee, whereas others like Minnesota or Syracuse in this case may focus more heavily on in-state placement
Any Insight into Daniel business at Purdue?
It’s a fine school with much to offer. If I had to, I would rank UIUC > Purdue for business education, outcomes, and overall undergrad experience. But I still like Purdue, as do most students who attend. Have you done virtual admissions sessions and/or accepted student sessions for your schools?

I agree gies is better, but Purdue is like 20k cheaper for me, per year
