To the OP:

I didn’t realize when I posted earlier that the school you were objecting to was Northwestern.

Northwestern is prestigious enough that companies in several areas of business that hire people for their talent rather than their training – such as investment banking and consulting – recruit there for people with bachelor’s degrees. And they’re not recruiting for business majors because Northwestern doesn’t offer a business major at the bachelor’s level.

I think this changes the picture a bit. Because of Northwestern’s prestige, its graduates have opportunities that graduates of lower-tier colleges don’t have, including opportunities for jobs in the business world.
