<p>This is more of an undergrad question, but since most of the management consulting talk goes on here, I posted here.</p>
<p>Right now I’m majoring in Finance at U of I, and I’d like to get into management consulting, so I know it’s somehwat of an uphill battle. I was wondering if it would be worth it to get a dual degree in Finance (from the business college) and Economics (from the liberal arts/sciences college). Would it give me a boost when applying to MC firms? </p>
<p>Economics is interesting to me, but there are other subjects like philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and history that interest me as well. However, I wouldn’t have much time to take classes in those subjects if I attempted a second degree. So should I take a broad array of classes and just major in Finance, or should I try for a dual degree in Finance and Economics?</p>
