Economics Degree vs Undergraduate Business School
I want to probably pursue something related to business after undergrad (eitherIB/consulting/quant/trading…现在还不确定),我要照片k between UChicago and NYU Stern. I know that UChicago has an Economics and Data Science degree and NYU Stern has a straightforward business school with concentrations in Finance and Computing and Data Science. Therefore, I had a few questions...
a) Does pursuing an economics degree put you at a comparative disadvantage in the business world? How is an economics degree truly different?
b) If I'm pretty sure I want to do business (IB/consulting/quant/trading), but not sure exactly what I want to do in business yet, is UChicago or NYU Stern more preferable?

Pick Uchicago unless you are deadset onIB. Uchicago is ivy caliber and is a great name on your resume
Based on other threads that I've read and podcasts that I've listened to, if you do half decent in Stern you are basically guaranteed to get anIBoffer and it'll probably be in New York. I really don't know a lot about UChicago, but if I were in your situation I'd probably go to Stern. Hope that helps

Sorry, wasn't saying UChicago is bad, just thought that UChicago mainly had connections to banks in Chicago. Nothing wrong with the school, just saying what I would do.
Depends on the schools. In your case you can't go wrong with either but I wouldn't always take a business degree over an Econ degree. I would pick UChicago cause the name is better and you aren't deadset onIB.
UChicago 100%, you can take booth classes there btw. Most of the best possible schools for landing these roles don't have undergraduate business.
UChicago has arguably the #1 program in the world for economics, especially as it relates to finance. It also has a better general rep than NYU.
Pursuing an economics degree does not put you at a disadvantage in the business world, especially if you're at one of the top undergrads in the country, which intentionally doesn't offer a business major. UChicago's differentiator is also that it allows much more flexibility in choosing your coursework than other schools do, so you can take classes at Booth.
不太了解商学院,你gh I do know from friends that UChicago is where fun goes to die. Consider your social life in both schools, and where the campus is located in each city.
