Which school should I choose UCI or UCSB for Business Administration major?
Both are good schools. My brother, husband and I all graduated from UCSB and all have good $100K+ jobs. My brother's degree is in Chemical Engineering and he works as an engineer. My husband double majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and he works as a programmer. I majored in Business Economics with a certificate in Accounting and I am a CPA. None of us had any problems getting good jobs with UCSB on our resume. I will say that there are certain majors at UCSB that give an employer the impression that you only went there to party. Film studies is one of those majors. UC Irvine and Irvine in general has a large asian population. UC Santa Barbara does have some latino groups and the area as a whole is still quite connected to its spanish/mexican roots.
UCI, UCSB, OR UCSD for business economics?
I recently got accepted to UCI (Biz Econ), UCSB (Biz Econ), and UCSD (Econ) as a transfer. Which school should I go to? I am completely torn between the 3. Which school do companies recruit from the most? I am planning on getting an MBA so will graduate schools prefer one school over the other? Any info is helpful! Thanks in advance!
UCI vs. UCSB vs. BU Business?
I'm trying to decide between those UCIrvine, UCSanta Barbara, and Boston University. UCSB has a good accounting program & I love to party, but it's so far away from where I want to be. UCI is close to home so I'll be near my hs friends, but I'm not too sure about the Busi Econ major. UCI is prob the most conveniennt choice. BU is prob the better choice, but I really don't want to leave the OC and I don't know if it's the best value college of the three. What do you think is my best choice considering finding a job afterwards, partying, and value?
Business Major where to go: UCR UCI USC CSUN UCSB?
I don't know which University would be better for you to attend, but I can tell you a little about UCR since I am currently a student there. I really like it! A lot of people know Riverside to be a rough area, but it is nice around the campus and the campus is beautiful- lots of greenery. I don't know a lot about the econ. major, but I have known some students in the business econ. major and they seem to really like it. My professors, for the most part, have been pretty good, and the TA's are super helpful. It is very challenging academic wise! I think the thing about "prestige" is a joke, so if the only reason you are considering USC is because it sounds more "prestigious," eliminate it. You will end up paying more for the same education. Also, the selection of courses at UCR is wonderful- there are so many choices as far as courses you can take for general ed., your major, and for electives. I also like the quarter system. 10 week courses can be fast and seem overwhelming at first, but you take fewer courses at a time and it keeps you from getting bored. Just a tip- in my opinion, you should only take 3 courses at a time because it will keep you busy with lectures, discussions, sometimes labs, and studying- unless you are really smart and can handle 4. As far as activities, there are always events going on at UCR and tons of clubs you can get involved in (clubs.ucr.edu). Plus, there are quite a few places to eat besides the cafeteria. You can use your meal ticket at any of the places to eat. Dorms are just like any other college dorm, and weather is very comparable to Temecula, CA (only too hot in the summer). Try touring the campuses and check out the course catalogs so you can get a feel for what courses are offered for your major and for any electives you may want to take (UCR- catalog.ucr.edu). Good luck:)
How good is UC Santa Barbara for studying business?
We have a Technology Management Program. I took a TMP class where I had to create a startup in 10 weeks. It was grueling, but I’ve taken so much from that class. I currently work at a startup and I’ve used everything I’ve learned from that course in my day-to-day.The best way to learn business is to actually do it. I don’t think there’s another program in the US that forces undergrads to do the type of work TMP allowed me to do.For undergrad, Stanford or UCSB would be your best bets if you want to learn how to start a company.
Business Major where to go: UCR UCI USC CSUN UCSB?
1. USC 2. UCI 3. UCSB 4. UCR 5. CSUN Find out if you can afford USC, or you can find resources to make this investment. USC costs a lot, but its worth it. I know somebody that also was a transfer from community college and by the time she was about to graduate from USC (also in accounting), she got offers from 2 of the big 4 accounting firms. It will be worth it if you can afford it because it definitely has the prestige. I put Irvine second because I think the Business Administration portion will give you some working knowledge about the other relevant business functions. UCSB doesn't require you to at least take strategic management class, management science (similar to operations research/decisions making) etc... UCI doesn't go deeper into economics like UCSB, but you still have to take intro to micro- and intro to macro. Accounting major requirements still the same at both schools. UCSB is above UCR because I think UCSB as a name has more recognition. CSUN is just an average, good CSU, but I'm not sure if employers would be very giddy in bringing their grad on board. CSUN's name certainly isn't as big as USC or even at the level of UCI/UCSB. UCI is kind of on the outskirts of Irvine, in its own little area. Its not isolated like the country side or anything, but it just kind of looks like its in a country side because there is less density on the way to campus. Students do live on campus, so you probably would have stuff to do. USC's area is not as nice, but the campus itself is pretty safe and the immediate surroundings is not as bad either.
I am graduating from UCSB master's program in computer science. Should I go directly into industry or apply to a top tier school to try and earn an MBA?
Get some industry experience first. You are more likely to be accepted into a top-tier school if you have experience, and you will benefit from it much more because you will have a better understanding of the real-world challenges behind the theories.
Which school would you recommend for an undergraduate business major, UIUC, UW-Madison, Northeastern, UCI, UC Davis, UCSB, or Purdue?
Given the Co-Op nature of Northeastern (four years of courses spread over five years and four years of tuition spread over five years) and three six-month paying Co-Op jobs related to your future career…. go NU and be a Husky. Especially if you can be recruited to play varsity Ice Hockey for NU.Otherwise, I prefer: Babson, Villanova, Boston College, and the University of Maryland.However, You Must Visit each campus that you are considering and spend at Least two days and one night at each, during the college academic year.Preferably in February.All the best.
Business major: cal poly SLO, UCSB, or University of San Diego (USD)?
context: I'm a very social person who is interested in a business major with a possible minor in religious studies. The school that I pick must have some sort of social party scene (UCI is already out of the questions because night life is dead). While I do understand UCSB does not have a buss/econ major anymore (only econ now), I would be willing to take a major in global studies. My dad has his own successful business and I'm thinking about working with him after I graduate; however, my interest in religion and history has made me question if I should even be a business major and instead teach. any advice to which school I should go to? I have friends at, and going to, every school listed so that isn't factor, and really shouldn't be. SLO: highly ranked, amazing business school. I love the school, however I'm worried about the social scene and being in the middle of cow town. Nice area; a little worried that the social scene is dead but I have heard some promising things if you're in a frat. USD: probably the best for a holistic education. But, same as SLO, is there a party scene? Santa Barbara: if I went to SB, id change my major to either global students, or something that relates to business or global ideas.
