Safer at Sub-Par School: Accounting or Finance?

College Majors Business Majors

<p>Which of the two, if you were attending a sub-par business school would be a better path to follow?</p>

2

<p>Any.
Most people will say Accounting, however you should check to see if it is AACSB accredited and typically Accounting is known as the “weed-out” major at sub-par business schools. However you can get a good job (possibly big 4) if you make it through with a great gpa (3.5+)
With Finance at sub-par schools, you can get non-investment banking finance jobs in financial planning, advising, analysis, commercial banking, etc. </p>

<p>Take this into consideration and see which applies to your school. My school is sub-par, however I got finance internships yet I am still waiting till next year to do an accounting internship.</p>

<p>Accounting by a long shot.</p>

<p>accounting because you can go into several fields with an accounting degree. as most people would put it “accounting is the language of business.”</p>
