Is the curriculum for a Business Major the same at all schools?

If my major is Business with an emphasis in Marketing would the classes be identical at all colleges with that major offered? Does the higher priced school guarantee a better wage when I enter the work force #business

Hi James,

The business classes may not be identical but there certainly will be overlaps. And yes, the school from which you graduate certainly will increase your chances of getting a better job if the school is prestigious. If you are looking for saving money and getting a great job, you can take most of your classes in the state university or community college but be strategic about the classes you take and then transfer them to some prestigious school and graduate from there. This will certainly help you increase your chances of landing a great job with minimal investment. Good luck!

HI James! The curriculum will be different at each school, but they will likely all touch on similar topics. I do not believe the school you go to matters in terms of how much you will make, nor should it! Focus on doing the best you can academically and putting yourself out there. YOU are what matters most. Showing your initiative, positive attitude, ability to take feedback, resilience when things don't go your way, and showing up is what will get you there. Work hard and where you go to school shouldn't matter. I have a Master's degree and some of my boss's in past jobs didn't even finish undergrad. They were hard-working and wonderful people. Good luck!

Hi James! The curriculum for a Business major is not the same at all schools. The curriculum can even vary at a University for the same class taught by different professors. I also don't believe there is a direct correlation between where you received your degree and your wage when you enter the workforce. Your University may increase your chances of getting a job through the Alumni network and various student programs. Your wages are primarily going to be determined by industry, position, and office location. Another factor that could potentially impact your wage is your level of degree (Bachelors vs Masters vs PhD). Hope this helps!
