wheres HYP? is this accurate?</p>
<p>Most top colleges do not have undergrad business programs.</p>
<p>hmom5 is correct. Amongst HYPSM, only MIT has an undergrad business program. And based on an information I’ve gathered from a friend who went to MIT, it’s undergrad business program isn’t even as well structured compared to Wharton’s. </p>
<p>If only HYPS all have an undergrad business program, they surely would make it to the top 10 pushing lesser prestigious schools’ undergrad business programs out of the super elite league. </p>
<p>Of the current list of top 10 by USNWR, only Wharton, Sloan, Haas, Stern and Ross are pretty solid, in terms of academic prestige. Of course, Wharton is the best in that list.</p>
<p>If HYPS dosen’t have business programs, how do they produce so many successful alums in business related fields?</p>
<p>^^^economics undergrad and maybe politcal science</p>
<p>There’s a large percentage of academics that believe that there should be no undergraduate business programs: that the best way to teach business is for someone to specialize in a technical skill, gain experience in the work place, then come back for a focused degree in how businesses should be run.</p>
<p>Most elite jobs in business do not go to people who studied business as undergrads. They go to top students from top schools with all sorts of majors. They know how to think, the business skills can be learned on the job. I love to hire philosophy majors for my banking jobs.</p>
<p>HYPS have good graduate business programs, plus undergrads from all majors from those schools get offers for careers that don’t necessarily reflect the curriculum of the major. That’s why they end up with so many businessmen.</p>
<p>if “the business skills can be learned on the job” whats the point in learning about business as an undergrad?
“They know how to think”- don’t business majors know how to think as well? why philosophy majors as opposed to business majors? just curious.
sry to steal the thread here! but so it would be best to take business classes but major in something else that you’re interested in?</p>
