PRE-BUSINESS ADVISING

Pre-Business Advising

Many students hope that they will eventually work in a business; they hope to get jobs right out of college. Many also believe that they have to study business in order to get that first job. Yet of the roughly 3000 people who graduate from the University of Michigan every year, many more than the approximately 330 BBA graduates have fulfilling, gainful employment. So the study of Business differs from the practice of business. What does the study of Business involve? What if you want to get an MBA?
