<p>but, I've heard economics at UChicago is phantasmal.</p>

<p>aka - how did you get that site to give you a list by field of study?</p>

<p>"NYU, Columbia, Baruch or City College?"</p>

<p>out of those.. columbia of course.</p>

6

<p>I would say, UChicago...</p>

<p>jmmom: I "googled" it. Keywords: "top colleges for economics"</p>

<p>forgiven: I wouldn't undermine NYU's program; it competes with Columbia.</p>

<p>I think Columbia has a better economics department than NYU, and its a better school overall too. I go to Baruch (for now) and the main thing here is Business but economics isn't that bad either I guess. It should be better than City College though. </p>

<p>So I would say:
Columbia, NYU, Barcuh, City College.</p>

<p>yeah, it's great and all, but somebody would be a fool to pick nyu econ over columbia econ.</p>
