<p>do they have any difference at all?
Say if I want to go into IBanking, is it better to do a undergrad business program first and then MBA? or should I take other undergrad programs (engineering for example) and then MBA?
which path has more adventage?</p>

2

<p>haha…people now use ibanking in their examples. It looks like it has taken over.</p>

<p>Do whichever program you have more interest in but don’t go into an undergrad engineering program if you have no interest and are just doing it because you heard it was a good path to get into a MBA. If you do you may find yourself dropping out after the first year or having a hard time managing a good gpa.</p>

<p>I’m assuming your Canadian because a Bcomm is a term used in Canadian undergrad business programs.Bcommerce is pretty much the same thing as a BBA/undergrad business program.</p>

<p>Yes, I am Canadian.
I actually want to do engineering more, but it’s because people nag at me all the time about how commerce = a ticket to the business world and engineering = locking yourself up in a lab with a bunch of smelly nerds</p>

<p>you should have applied to Richard Iveys School of business at Western Ontario because for the first 2/3 years of that program you study something else for example engineering and then in the last 2 years you study business. You get a engineering degree as well as a top 3 canadian business degree.
And then you always have the option to get a MBA later if needed.</p>

<p>The thing is I don’t like Western.
I prefer to live in toronto than some small town.
And I don’t think you can do a engineering with business for Western, you can only take some general courses</p>

<p>yes you can its called the BESc/HBA program <a href=“http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/hba/academics/concurrent.htm[/url]”>http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/hba/academics/concurrent.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Anyways you said it yourself you want to do engineering so do that. Alot of engineer undergrads get into top MBA programs look at Michael Bloomberg, he got a BS in electrical engineering then got a MBA from Harvard. The only thing is if you get a engineering degree you may not get a job in business right after university.</p>

<p>I wish I could do that in UofT for eng sci
It’ll be so perfect if I can get a eng sci/ commerce degree from UofT</p>

<p>sammy, are you going to university this fall?</p>

10

<p>yea I’m actually trying to decide between Schulich and UofT St.George Commerce.</p>
