Math/Physics/Econ or Engineering

[Mr.B]

Hello all.

I'm a senior currently deciding between some colleges, and I'm trying to figure out what I want to major in. I've been accepted into UVA's School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the College of William & Mary. I think I want to go into business/finance and/or law after undergrad. At UVA, I could double major in Systems Engineering and Economics (easily, because they would overlap should I concentrate in Economic Systems), or I could double major in a combination of math/physics/econ at W&M.

Any suggestions as to which may be a better track if I plan on going into business/finance and/or law?

Much appreciated!

It really depends on what you're looking for and what your interests are. If you have an interest in math, physics, and economics, then either of the double majors could be a great option for you. However, if you are looking to develop specific skills for business/finance and law, then the Economics and Systems Engineering major at UVA may be more beneficial. This major will provide you with a better understanding of economic systems and how they interact with business and finance. Additionally, it will give you a better understanding of the technology and engineering principles that businesses and law firms utilize. Ultimately, you'll need to decide which route is best for you based on your interests and goals.
