Hi, I’m currently a senior who just finished applying EA to UMich (LSA Econ) and IU Kelley. I was curious to get opinions on the advantages of an econ degree vs. BA. Here’s the thing, my dream is to go to Ross but to hedge my bets, I applied for LSA. I’m pretty confident I can get into LSA and IU Kelley, but I didn’t want to take the chance of getting rejected from UMich for Ross. I’m in-state for UMich, qualify for free tuition, and top of my class, so UMich is my top choice based on those factors and I’m confident in my application.

However, if I have the chance to choose between either school, is UMich Econ better than Kelley if I want to pursue a career in the business sphere? My plan right now is to study econ with the hopes of breaking into marketing. I know UMich has great recruiting (better for Ross but I can still leverage these resources) and they have a business minor. I would love opinions, thank you!
