<p>Please give your opinions</p>
<p>Which program would you choose? and why?</p>
<p>NU’s econ is placed the 8th in a ranking that includes the likes of Harvard, Yale, and Chicago. The 4 courses of financial economics certificate at Kellogg are more advanced than typical finance courses at any undergrad business school.</p>
<p>I personally think econ curriculum and perhaps many others have more educational value than a typical business curriculum. Below is what a portfolio manager co-managing a $1.8 billion global bond fund and managing a start-up hedge fund for institutional clients said about the value of the humanities and a liberal education: </p>
<p>“When students ask me why I chose to study history and get a liberal arts degree, as opposed to pursuing an undergraduate business degree at another school, I tell them that they have their entire life to study business. Business is a ‘trade,’ so to speak and can be learned in the working world as well as the classroom. Undergraduate education is a special time in life. I encourage students to explore what they find interesting and engaging. Students have “the rest of their post-undergraduate lives” to study business. Moreover, in the right liberal arts setting, usually without recognizing it, students gain invaluable skills which translate nicely into the business world such as written and spoken communication and critical thinking. It is surprising how important, yet how rare, these skills are found in the business world. Above all, among the successful and engaging CEOs and senior-level professionals, with whom I work every day, most have liberal arts degrees. Leveraging the skills they learned in the liberal arts classroom, they used their time after college to learn and excel in the technical elements of business.”</p>

<p>Theyre probably about equal in terms of prestige, job placement, etc. If u get into both, id advise that u choose based on fit. Personally id slightly rather be at cornell although i like NU very much as well.</p>
