Is there a website where I can find rankings for U.S. Ph.D. programs in Finance?
I'm considering obtaining a Ph.D. in Finance and I'd like to get an idea of the prestige and selectivity of various programs. Is there an online resource that will provide some type of ranking for such programs? If there isn't one specifically for Finance Ph.D. programs, then is there one for Business Ph.D. programs in general? Thanks for your help! :)

Although these are the mba-finance rankings, the finance Ph.Ds are affiliated with the business school. You'll have to pay for a subscription, but it is essentially what you are seeking.

You may be able to find a paper copy of that info from that website in your local library! Or maybe your library owns a subscription to that site? Check things out with a librarian before you buy anything!

Absolutely. Many people with Economics degrees go on to receive MBAs. Most MBA programs will want some experience though, and I'd reccommend it as well so that you don't come out of school overqualified for any job based on education and underqualified based on experience. Good luck!

Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. Consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Do People in the Business or Finance Related Majors have an edge when applying to top MBA programs
Do People in the Business or Finance Related Majors have an edge when applying to top MBA programs? ?
I am an English Literature Major and I was wondering what steps do I need to prepare to get into the top MBA programs? specifically NYU Stern. I'm a junior now, so I'm guessing I need to prepare for graduate admissions sometimes this year?

The answer to your question is NO. MBA programs accept student with any bachelors degree. What gives you an edge is good grades, a high GMAT score, and work experience. Examine programs of the schools that interest you in the Official MBA Guide, a free service.

You will probably start off about 15-20 an hour. 57,000 is not worth it at all.

It should be pretty easy for you to get into the School of Business at Rutgers because you are enrolled at the school and you probably just need to finish your general education requirements. I think you should talk to an academic advisor or academic counselor and tell him or her that you want to be in the finance program at the Business School. He or she should be able to help you out and tell you what classes you need to take to get in.

Hey, the requirements as of this year is as follows: 33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting 01:198:170 Computer Applications to Business 01:220:102 Introduction to Microeconomics 01:220:103 Introduction to Macroeconomics 01:640:135 Calculus I 01:960:285 Introductory Statistics for Business You are also required to have at LEAST 54 credits and a GPA of a minimum of 3.3. The higher your GPA the better the chances. Also, the minimum GPA fluctuates every year depending on the strength of other applicants. Make SURE you finish all the required classes above before the end of sophomore year, and dont forget to apply to the business school the middle of sophomore year. Good luck, study hard, and pass all the above classes with at least a C and you'll be ok. Also dont forget to get above the minimum GPA, which is posted every year. Finally, you have to complete a liberal arts minor before you go to the business school. You wont have time to finish it once youre in.
