You could get a minor degree from the summer business school-- but it cost a bout another $8K.

I know the VBS is a great experience, has prestige on campus, etc, etc… But recent articles are saying business recruiters are looking for liberal arts candidates. Maybe think outsdie the box- take a few community college classes in finance/accounting next summer. Also be sure to attend all the open lectures offered by the VBS. They are really the added bonus.

The Villanova A&S degree is well respected and known in the NE business community. Most employers know that they couldn’t get a 2200 on their SATs to get into the VBS. And kids who are graduating from higher tier schools are having tough time getting jobs too.

So if you do like VU for other reasons- you might want to stay put. But your GPA needs to go up to a 3.3 to get any job in this tough market.

Which you might be able to get at another school & be in their business program. Also your GPA gets a new start when you report it on your resume… don’t under estimate that- but you won’t have the VU career center to use…
