Hey guys! I'm currently trying to decide between Emory and Tulane for a business major. Does anyone have any experiences or opinions on the business programs at these schools? Any info on academics, networking, and internship opportunities would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hey! Congratulations on your acceptances to both Emory and Tulane! I think both schools have solid business programs, but there are some differences that may help you choose which is the best fit for you.
At Emory, the Goizueta Business School is known for its strong business program and small class sizes that promote personalized learning. The school is highly ranked, which is a testament to the high-quality education provided to its students. In terms of networking and internship opportunities, Emory being located in Atlanta, a major city with a thriving business scene, offers students various options to connect with big-name companies and engage in internships or co-op programs.
On the other hand, Tulane's Freeman School of Business has a solid reputation and offers a broad range of business concentrations. One unique feature about their curriculum is the "Burkenroad Reports" program, where students have the opportunity to analyze and evaluate real businesses. New Orleans, as a vibrant and growing city, also provides numerous networking and internship opportunities, albeit not as vast as Atlanta.
Both schools have active alumni networks that can also aid in job placements after graduation. Ultimately, it's important to consider the campus environment, location, and personal fit when deciding between the two schools. Try reaching out to current students or alumni from both schools to hear about their experiences or visit the campuses if you can.
Good luck with your decision!
