<p>Most elite undergraduate institutions do not have business schools. But they have pipelines of students going to top business programs after some work experience. Northwestern is no exception. The Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences program is a real star and sends a lot of people to elite business programs. Business institutions at NU offers some business school-type training in “nuts and bolts” without actually being a business degree. A major in Northwestern econ or sociology would be recognized as excellent preparation by any business school.</p>
