Information Systems or Accounting??
Hi all,
I am a freshman at a non-target. Finance major now, but looking to add a second one. I am debating between Accounting or Info Systems. Also, if I choose info systems I would add a business analytics minor to it because it would only be 1 extra class. Option 3 would be to do finance and just the business analytics minor. So basically, does it make sense to add a second major? If so what route would you recommend?
P.S. Interested in IB (like everyone else)
If you do a double major for Finance/Accounting it builds a solid base for ib. However, you might find out after taking a few more accounting classes that you absolutely do not want to take it up as a double major because you are not doing as well in those classes as in finance and classes are super dry.
Since you are a freshman and don't truly know what you want to do you might decide to pursue trading after your investment banking internship. For that having a comp sci major puts you in a good position. In that case take as many comp sci classes as you can to count towards IS major.
I would say since you are a freshman try to take a few accounting classes and a few information systems classes to see what you enjoy more and in which you can succeed better. Don't forget GPA plays a big role in getting your foot in the door.
Any other thoughts?
accounting. just do a few courses, a whole major is unnecessary for banking.
