Colleges in California for Business

Yo, I'm currently a junior and thinking of majoring in business. Does anyone know some good colleges over here in California that really shine for this major? Been looking into it, but definitely appreciate some extra input!

Absolutely, California has some excellent business programs. Let me highlight a few for you:

1. University of Southern California (USC): The Marshall School of Business at USC is known for its strong undergraduate business program. It particularly stands out for programs in entrepreneurship and real estate.

2. University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley): The Haas School of Business is one of the top-ranked business schools. It's known for its research-oriented education and emphasis on experiential learning.

3. Stanford University: Though Stanford doesn't offer a typical "business" major for undergraduates, its Economics department and management science & engineering program are highly respected. Plus, many students go on to do an MBA at the well-renowned Stanford Graduate School of Business.

4. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA): UCLA doesn't offer an undergraduate business major, but it does have a business economics major which is very highly-rated.

5. University of California, Irvine (UCI): The Paul Merage School of Business at UCI offers a business administration program at undergraduate level. It's known for combining business fundamentals with a grounding in leadership, innovation, and the digital economy.

These are all top-tier programs, but they're also quite selective. If you're interested in business programs at less selective schools, consider looking into San Francisco State University (SFSU), San Diego State University (SDSU), and Cal State Fullerton which also have respected business programs.

Remember, the "best" school will also depend on factors like size, location, campus culture, and financial aid so keep these in mind as you're researching!
