Best undergraduate economics program

<p>Okay, thank you very much!</p>

<p>Where would Emory U of Washington Tulane and University of Florida rank?</p>

<p>i am interested in that as well</p>

<p>where would boston college and fordham fit in on this</p>

<p>The ranking someone posted on the first page is very good and if the school you are looking for is not in it, it probably doesn’t fit “in” it, but after it (make a tier VI and so on). Keep in mind that just about every university offers economics, so those 25 are only the top fraction of the top percentile of econ programs, so it’s not exactly something you can expect to just fit other schools into.</p>

<p>I see NYU’s econ in “group IV”. Non-Stern of course.</p>

<p>Would anyone dare to argue that Penn State’s finance at the Smeal College of business (#21 U-Grad biz school nationally- businessweek) is a SMARTER choice than NYU’s non stern econ for landing an investment banking job on wall st? keyword - non stern.</p>

<p>Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley, Chicago
Penn, Yale, Northwestern, NYU, Columbia</p>

<p>you wanna land an I-banking job on wall street? NYU econ and smael both dont cut it. you are looking for wharton, sloan, cornall, stern, ross, haas, tepper, kenan-flagler, and maybe georgetown- as far as business schools go. Economics majors will fidn thsoe jobs out of Ivy, williams, amherst, and the like. I’m not saying that the schools you mentioned can’t land you a great job, just not an i-banking job on wall street.</p>

<p>Hey does anyone know about Tufts undergraduate economic program?</p>

<p>^^ I was wondering the same thing! Also, how is the econ program at USC?</p>

<p>I was wondering… what exactly are the advantages of having a ‘good’ program of a specific field? Better professors? More prestige if you study that certain major? </p>

<p>I know that a disadvantage is that it is harder to get in to that program, right?</p>

<p>How does Vassar’s econ program compare to that of NYU?</p>

<p>imo vassar is much better.</p>

<p>Thank you Alexandre!</p>

Yeah, I was wondering about USC’s econ program too!Anybody knows?</p>

<p>How would you guys rank economics programs in Penn State and Purdue University. I’m waiting to hear back from my #1 choices: NYU and Rochester. However if I will be rejected from those I just wanted to know whether PSU or Purdue is better for my major. I was accepted to PSU’s College of Liberal Arts and Purdue’s school of management.
I need advice badly!!!
Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>i applied to USC Marshall as business admin. i don’t think USC is very big on econ or finance. if i were u i would apply to ucla for econ or biz econ.</p>

<p>What about Wash U at St.Louis?? And also Tufts? I can see that someone had already asked the question about Tufts earlier, but it hasn’t been answered.</p>

<p>Tufts isn’t really known for Econ. Fletcher has some sick int’l Econ/finance related courses but that’s another story. It seems like professional opportunities are ok for a school that’s isn’t really a target. Some major firms recruit here but mostly for unprestigious positions.</p>

<p>Econ is definitely popular at tufts though. I know nothing about wash u Econ.</p>

<p>what about university of richmond?</p>
