<p>If one were looking to go into business, would going to Princeton undergrad be a bad idea? Would he be better off going to Wharton or somewhere else?</p>

<p>well of course wharton is better. the only thing is that it has crazy competition and VERY difficult to get in.</p>

<p>i don’t know how good princeton is for business. i’m doing research on it right now.</p>

<p>I don’t know much a/b Princeton but I do know that they don’t have any professional schools (business,law,med) and they also don’t have an undergraduate business program.</p>

<p>You’d have to do Economics.</p>

<p>Though you’re planning to go INTO business, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to study business at the undergraduate level. After a difficult decision, I turned down Wharton for Princeton. Princeton has some awesome courses to help prepare you, which include a finance certificate and several entrepeneurial courses such as entrepreneurial engineering and high-tech entrepreneurship. You can go to any company with a degree from Princeton, and I’d highly recommend looking into it.</p>

<p>princeton, like most elite universities (including harvard, yale, and stanford), does not have an undergraduate business school. these universities all don’t have undergraduate business schools for the same reason that they don’t have undergraduate journalism or nursing schools: because they believe that the undergrad years should be spend studying the liberal arts (and sciences), not training for a profession. however, these schools all have top economics departments, which provide more than adequate preparation for the gamut of business career alternatives available to their freshly minted graduates. in short, if interested in business, you’ll be fine at princeton.</p>
