most popular major??? (1 Viewer)

[Dingo2004]

there are many majors in business/commerce degrees
such as accounting, finance, ebusiness, marketing, management, human resource, information systems, international business, economics, banking, advertising, tourism, hospitality etc
which majors do you think is the most popular amongst students besides accounting?

 

[jlh]

i'd say accounting is the most popular.. followed by finance....
this is just my opinion with no stats to back it up!!

 

[santaslayer]

Finance Economics and Marketing?

 

[jlh]

you think economics is popular? i never thought so.. alot of people complain about it and look at me like i'm a freak when they ask what i'm doing..........

but marketing would be pretty popular too...

 

[santaslayer]

I've always associated Finance, Accounting and Economics together. A lot of people choose ?Economics as their second major. That's what I've always thought and witnessed? Dunno?

 

[santaslayer]

We do maths in marketing you do know, its called statistics.

Yes you do. But the maths involved is nothing compared to something like quantative methods (or similar) in something like Economics or Finance.

You might do a few minor sums.

Id say at USYD its accounting at least going by class numbers that is..

 

[Minai]

Yeah Accounting/Business Law by far the most popular, followed by Finance, then Economics, and then it gets smaller from there (HRM, Marketing, etc are all close)

Lol, yet I doubt it'd burst anytime soon, due to Australia adopting IFRS

Management and Marketing seems to be pretty big to me.

 

[Soma]

Management is such a bullshit major.

 

[stazi]

im pretty sure marketing doesnt have that high enrollment figures according to the usyd website.
I havent met that many people who do marketing as a major yet (apart from two bos people).
Also, I don't know if marketing, however, gets me official accreditation in usyd (you get something official if you complete some Acounting units).

 

[Dingo2004]

yeh marketing at uws gets accredited by AMI (australian marketing institute) and CMP (certified marketing practitioner)

but when i look at the uts handbook, it says all des nice things for accounting anf finance subjects being certified etc.. but nothing on marketing...

 

[Dingo2004]

im gonna transfer into B Business (Marketing)
and for my electives im gonna do a submajor in e-marketing
and some applied marketing research subject and 3 other random electives
that way i will haf a full on marketing degree
hehehehe
and my degree name will say so too

 

[Dingo2004]

yeh i got the letter
it kinda looks cool bcoz no other unis teach e-marketing
so its like a first (innovation)

 

[Dingo2004]

i think everyone that does B Business (marketing) and B Business and Commerce gets it

Fool, Accounting is one of the few careers that are always needed regardless of the economic climate, if there is lots of money ppl want to know how to keep most of it and make it work for them, if there is a recession ppl go to their accountants to find out how to protect their money
