Uni Stuff > Monash University
Bachelor of Business (Monash Caulfield)
RD:
Same here, I'm not entirely certain either.
marbs:
I'm also in this line of thought.
But was leaning towards banking and finance, but might only do business.
Does anyone do this course?
Or heard good or bad things?
Is this a big downgrade than commerce?
costargh:
Too be truthful, in terms of 'prestige' the BBus is not held in as high esteem as the BCom. If that worries you and you want a better chance at gettin into a big company (eg KPMG etc) then you might want to do BCom... but thats not to say that u cant do BBus and then transfer into the BCom.

BBus (Caulfield)

VS
BCom (Clayton)

* BTC1110 Business law
* ECC1000 Principles of microeconomics
* ETC1000 Business and economic statistics
* MGC1010 Introduction to management
* MKC1200 Principles of marketing
(ii) at least two units from the following list (12 points)

* ECC1100 Principles of macroeconomics
* ETC1010 Data modelling and computing
* MGC1020 Organisations: contexts and strategies
If u ask me, there's not a *whole* lot of difference in the core syllabus.
Aside from that, if you like some of the subjects @ Clayton that aren't @ Caulfield, u can jst take the shuttle bus that runs between Caulfield and Clayton every 25 mins 2g2 classes @ Clayton.
TBH, I think most ppl still in high skool will not *really* know wot they want 2 major in.
I don't know wot I want 2 major in, but the beauty of Monash is that I don't even have 2 start thinking bout that until @ least Sem 2 nxt year.
BBus vs BBus forced major = definitely go the straight BBus and decide ur major after u've 'taste-tested' units from different disciplines.
AND... just let me say that a BBus from Monash is a perfectly respectable degree.
U guyz shouldn't worry about stuff like that.
U should b more concerned bout whether a uni offers wot U want out of higher education, not wot other ppl think bout it.

Thanks Fyrefly. Yeh I made the comparison too and was suprised how similar they were. I will probably still try and transfer to Commerce @ Clayton because I live close to Clayton but in my mind I have no hesitations finishing my degree of BBus @ Caulfield (if I was accepted). I'm just saying that if you look at the intake of students into graduate jobs... I think the bigger companies prefer a degree in Com @ Melb or Monash over the BBus... but by no means would that make you unemployable and by no means would that make your ability to get a good job impossible.
Once you gain experience your degree IMO becomes less of a priority to employers
