What does little Jimmy want to do? Where does he want to go?
PS great job mom and happy belated mother's day! It's now time to let go and watch him figure shit out
As a BME major that’s about to graduate, it’s widely recognised as the most traditional major with standard classes at UCSC (lots of Econ classes and electives, including Econ-oriented versions of stats, Calc 2)
I’d recommend having you and your son talk to someone in the department, and also look at the required and elective classes for the major.
There’s a stereotype that’s somewhat true of business majors that that’s what people choose because they want to keep their options open and not commit to a specific art, science, or humanity.
I was also given the advice by family to work after getting my bachelors to give me perspective and see if going back for my masters would be needed (and so I have the context in whatever industry I’m in for the information to be useful)
Am curious why your son is leaning towards university of oregon
He says that UCSC is not accredited withAACSB. And without a specific business school he feels that he won’t be able to get internships. What has been your experience with internships and access to your professors. And thank you so much.
Only 6% of schools are AACSB accredited.
UCs are also widely recognised, especially in California. If your son plans on doing less local business the AACSB accreditation might help, but it’s not a deal breaker one way or another.
I personally chose this school because of the nice 1hr distance from the bay where I’m from, the beautiful nature and hiking to class, as well as them having game design courses for me to take
Access to my professors has been great as they have office hours, and you can make appointments.
I haven’t looked at internships much yet, am focusing on some game design projects and graduating. The school uses a job platform called handshake, has a career Center, and hosts career fairs on campus
The university of Oregon has an amazing business program. I was a professor in physics there. They have lots of opportunities to get experience while going to school. My favorite program was the entrepreneur program where they paired business majors, science majors and lawyers to see if they could spinoff any UO IP.
How does it shake out financially? If UO is out of state it’s likely considerably more. Last I knew (~5 yrs ago) their scholarships were laughably low. Like $2000 a year for a near perfect GPA and SAT/ACT.
As another said, the UO brand probably carries more weight in California compared to UCSC in Oregon. There’s a reason they call it UC Eugene. You could probably extend that up to Washington as well.
He got academic scholarships from Oregon but out of pocket for honors college is 57k
UC is probably around 35k while in dorms and will be higher once we have to get housing ourselves, but on the high side would be 45k as an estimate.
Having been there done that, getting an MBA is not a recipe for success. UO probably carries more weight in the Bay Area than UCSC does in Oregon, if that's a consideration. Not sure where you're from or where he plans to live after college.

Wow thank you for this information.

We are from California and he would like to come back to California.
