<p>I really like the prospects of programs like NYU Stern’s Business and Political Economy, Cornell’s Applied Economics and Management, etc. What are some other programs like those?
I’m really interested in business, but more towards something like economics/politics. What are some other interesting programs like such?
I’ve heard of stuff like political economy majors but can you guys and gals help me out? Especially ones with better job prospects (I hear Cornell’s AEM students get recruited directly by big banks).</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll chance you back or something just leave a link!</p>
<p>You can try Politics/Philosophy/Economics (PPE). many arts and sciences schools offer that course.</p>
<p>Yeah but I meant like more prestigious, specific programs… More towards like Tier 1 (My hopes go there) programs…</p>
<p>Dude, PPE IS a specific major, like AEM and Business and Political Economy. Schools like pomona and upenn offer that major so if you do it from one of those it’ll probably be considered “prestigious” what’s the obsession with prestige in any case ? stop being a prestige whor*. And there’s no such thing as a “tier 1” major ! you’re being ignorant and stupid.</p>
<p>If you want to work at a big bank, why not just study finance? AEM’s finance isn’t even top 10. Check out the top 10 finance programs. You’ll probably learn plenty about economics and have opportunities to take political science classes at any of these anyway, so don’t worry so much about them having a special name for it. When you tell people you majored in finance with a minor in economics or government or whatever, they at least know what you’re talking about without explanation:
