<p>Maybe I shouldn’t be that of a je*k here towards MMSS. But I really do not like this major that much.</p>
<p>This is what I wanted to say: this major has been way too much inflated as a stepping stone to some business internships and careers afterwards. In my personal opinion, any undergraduate education in a strong career oriented setting is an absolute failure because the real complex academic side of it would get succumbed to oversimplifications. The program also boasts itself having a rigorous training in Maths and however in reality, those Maths trainings are nothing in comparison to the Maths classes in the engineering school. As a result, it doesn’t give me the kind of sincerity and seriousness students deserve for an undergraduate education.</p>
<p>This major is more like a ‘how to interview for a finance job’ type of book sold on Amazon. According to some recent grads, it does prepare you relatively well for entry level jobs in certain types of financial industry. However, undergraduate studies should also need certain detailed depth in addition to breadth. Therefore, this major or program should be considered as equal as other majors. Successful rate in internships and entry level jobs should not be made, in anyway, a selling point of this major and Northwestern to attract potential students.</p>
<p>Ya Sam you are right, actually the pay for those internships are ok.</p>
