Undergraduate University Choice

Good Evening,

I am currently a senior at a prep school in Arizona. I am interested in a career in I-banking. However, I am not sure what would be the best university for it. Either Arizona State University with a bachelor of science in finance or University of St Andrews (Scotland) in a degree in financial economics. Which would be better for someone interested in a job on Wall Street.

Thank you

 

Depends a little bit on WHERE you want to do Ibanking. In general I would say go to the best/highest caliber (USNEWS is a good guideline) college/university you can get into. Arizona state is not a target for Ibanking. Not sure about University of St. Andrews or really what the banking scene is in Scotland.
