At Baruch, the main differences are simple:
Finance and Accounting are more numbers-driven and analytical.
Marketing focuses on strategy, branding, and consumer behavior.
Management centers on leadership and operations.
Information Systems/Analytics combines business with tech and data.
In your first year, take intro courses, join clubs, and explore internships. Pay attention to which classes you enjoy and perform well in.
The right major is the one that fits your strengths and interests, not just what sounds impressive.
