Dual Degree at a Semi-Target

Hello everyone,

I’m currently an undergraduate student at University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign studying Econometrics. I’m still a Freshman so I’m not quite sure where in the financial industry I want to go to. I have quite a lot of credits since I did the International Baccalaureate Diploma and did pretty well. As a result, I can comfortably fit a second degree into my program. I’m currently leaning towards a Finance degree as I’m quite interested in Investment banking and consulting, but I won’t know till I get some work experience.

I just want a degree combination which will be most rewarding taking both compensation and applicable knowledge into account. My options are: - BS in Accountancy - BS in Operations Management - BS in Information Systems - BS in Management - Entrepreneurship Concentration - General Management Concentration - International Business Concentration - BS in Supply Chain Management - BS in Finance
