Business School?

<p>im deciding between Georgetown MSB and Tulane … even though ive always had my heart set on gtown, ive been liking tulane more and more. its hard to say no to the scholarship/honors program/living in NOLA! </p>

<p>soo does anyone know how the freeman business school is for undergrads?</p>

<p>is there good job recruitment, internships, overall success?</p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>I am not the expert by any means so you will get more authoritative posts I am sure, but being a Tulane alum and now having a daughter starting in the fall, I have kept up with it quite a lot. And everything I have heard is that the school does an excellent job with undergrads and, I would think, there ought to be lots of opportunities for internships and true on-the-job learning. I am quite sure you will enjoy everything else about the school, also.</p>

<p>Georgetown and Tulane are both great. However, if you are at all thinking about Finance I would pick Tulane. Look into their Burkenroad Reports Program, Darwin Fenner Program, trading classes (featured a few times on CNBC last year) and their trading floor on campus. Tulane was named a Top 10 school IN THE WORLD for finance in 2008 by British publication Financial Times. I don’t think the two schools are close for that discipline. I looked into Georgetown for my MBA but opted to get a Master of Finance from Tulane instead. I’m convinced I made the right choice. When I was a Grad student at TU, there were always big I-banks, some of which no longer exist :slight_smile: , looking specifically for undergrads. Internship wise there are a few boutique investment banks in the city that know Tulane and always hire interns from their finance program. Plus, Tulane has a huge presence in the NY area so a lot of kids go up there for the summer to intern. </p>

<p>However, say you wanted to minor or double major in political science. Pick Georgetown. Being in DC while majoring in political science can’t be beat by any school in the world. </p>

<p>If you aren’t sure or the two above situations don’t apply to what you want to major in. Visit both schools. Frankly, both are great cities to visit regardless. Good Luck!! </p>

<p>I’m going in Business undecided? how hard is it to transfer to finance?</p>

<p>It is much easier to declare a finance major if you are already starting your college career as a b-school student. The Freeman core requirements differ quite a bit from the liberal arts requirements. If you are in the b-school declaring a finance major just involves filling out paperwork.</p>
