The professors from some local U said that:
Science/Engineering programs e.g. CS are technical but not Business programs e.g. IBBA, PAC.
They said it is better to choose Science/Engineering program and then totake Business program in the future.
If you choose Business programnow, you can NEVER go back to take technical Science/Engineeringprogram in the future.
Besides, the starting salary point of Science/Engineering graduates is much higher than Business graduates.
Moreover, the admission score of Science/Engineering program is lower => easier to enter
To conclude, they suggested JUPAS applicants from whatever streams to chooseScience/Engineering programme because of:
1. more technical
2. betteremployment prospect
3. easier to enter the program
Do you share the same view?

It depends on how you define the term 'technical', form my point of view, science/engineering programs offer more professional knowledge than that of business programs especially IBBA. It is because business programs focus on training your mind and sense.
They said it is better to choose Science/Engineering program and then totake Business program in the future.
If you desire to develop your career in science/engineering field, then you should choose science/engineering program.
It is not necssary to take business program in the future, it depends on the need of your job
If you choose Business programnow, you can NEVER go back to take technical Science/Engineeringprogram in the future.
Yes. It is right unless you take another undergraduate science/engineering program after you graduate from business program
Besides, the starting salary point of Science/Engineering graduates is much higher than Business graduates.
For the starting salary, basically there is no great difference between science/engineering and business graduates
Moreover, the admission score of Science/Engineering program is lower => easier to enter
Yes. It is right
To conclude, they suggested JUPAS applicants from whatever streams to chooseScience/Engineering programme because of:
1. more technical
2. betteremployment prospect
3. easier to enter the program
For 1: although it is more technical, this may not be an advantage over business program because business program focus on training your mind, soft skills and general education. Indeed, these are important factors that employer will consider when they hire fresh graduates
For 2: I do not agree that choosing certain program will provide better career prospect. The program itself will not affect your career prospects. The point is how much you can learn from the program. There are no 'weak' programs, there are only 'weak' people
For 3: Yes 作者: 0.0jo 時間: 2009-6-1 20:54
Man, your topic will be a debate topic, if "BA elites" read it.
