<p>Did you know that an undergraduate business program is the only one where graduates actually end up doing worse on college assessment tests than they did when entering? If you want to shell out cash to major in something that will literally make you dumber in addition to providing you no real skills or credibility for anything in particular than feel free to study business!*</p>
<p>Unless your degree is stamped ‘Wharton’ or ‘Sloan’ (MIT), an undergraduate diploma in business isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Why do you think most Ivies don’t even have undergrad business programs, yet it’s their graduates (in other fields) who go on to the really big jobs at financial firms in NYC? So go to either! It doesn’t matter. I guess ND will have better alumni clubs, which you’ll need when you stand in line for unemployment after you graduate.</p>
<p>I know there’s going to be 20 posts after this refuting me with worthless anecdotal stories about their success as business undergrad, but I don’t care. I’ll probably be called a snob/elitist/jerk/etc. by all sorts of internet tough guys, but I’m honestly doing you a favor. The dumbest people in college I knew at ND and anywhere else I went were always undergrad business students. I guess you’ll learn how to cheat off your friend’s excel files when you grind through your homework. Major in economics, at least that’s a real field. </p>
<p>*I’m not talking about MBAs here, which do actually mean something. Undergraduate business schools have no place at universities, except as something you transfer into after failing out of an engineering program.</p>
