I understand that many ross rejects may perhaps major/minor in economics, and some reapply to Ross for a minor, but if one is interested in business, (and i dont neccesarily mean Wall Street),
A) what type of options does a student have to use LSA to build the best path to succeed in business
and
B) how are these students honestly viewed coming out of college, (in comparison to going to business school at a less prestigious university (but still decent) such as UW, UMD, etc

The University of Michigan is considered one of the top 15 universities in the country by both academe and industry. As such, a degree from Michigan, whether LSA, Ross or Engineering, will be held in high regard. There are only a few business schools that will be considered equal to an Economics degree from Michigan. UW and UMD are not among them.
It is important to keep in mind that it is Ross that is exceptional, not LSA that is average. Ross placement stats are second only to Wharton among BBA programs.
@Alexandre what would you consider those business schools to be? and also what would u consider the difference between UMD and UW in how they are regarded

The ones with asterisks next to them are exceptional, better than LSA Econ at Michigan when it comes to professional placement. The others are roughly as good as LSA Econ (better for some industries and geographic areas, weaker for others).
