<p>“Brand-name programs — the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business, and a few dozen others — are full of students pulling 70-hour weeks, if only to impress the elite finance and consulting firms they aspire to join. But get much below BusinessWeek’s top 50, and you’ll hear pervasive anxiety about student apathy, especially in “soft” fields like management and marketing, which account for the majority of business majors.”</p>
<p>Sure, if you can go to HYP, go and study whatever you want. But the fact is, at most top flagships, business students get jobs easily, and non-stem liberal art majors don’t. </p>
<p>Kelley is a top 15 undergraduate business school, so that article (and the other 10 million copy-cat articles) don’t really apply to it. The fact is, whenever alumni came back to speak, students asked what they though the most important class they took in college was. Every single time I’ve heard that question asked, the person answers with K201. </p>
<p>I took an upper level political science course this year. I enjoyed it and had to write a lot. But the courses that have made me more valuable this summer have been K201 and X201. The courses that recruiters repeatedly cite as why they recruit from Kelley are K201 and X201.</p>
