Which college program is more beneficial?

I am looking into colleges (specifically UT and TAMU), and there are a lot of different programs to choose from that seem to be highly beneficial. However, I can't decide whether a program focusing on IB or an analyst program would help me get my foot in the door for ER. From what I've read, it's an analytical job but also somewhat falls under the IB umbrella, so I need advice on which type of program would be better. Thoughts?

If your'e an undergraduate than they are both good but UT is probably better. I don't think that taking some specific coursework will do much to "get your foot in the door" at the undergrad level. It will take more than specialized classes for that.
