Best undergraduate economics program

<p>woah from what u said (Sam Lee) i should definately think about northwestern then</p>

<p>What about Case Western, Rochester, UMD college park, McGill, Cornell?</p>

<p>Do any god consulting firms recruit over there?</p>

<p>Axman, all the schools I mentioned above are excellent in Economics, including Dartmouth. If you love Dartmouth, you will not be disapointed with its Economics offerings. Very generally speaking, the main difference between the LACs and the research programs is the size of their faculties and therefore, the variety of courses they can offer.</p>

<p>In ur guys opinion which school would be the best school to go for an undergrad econ program, to get into an ivy league grad school(the undergrad school could be an ivy league also)</p>

<p>who gives a ****?</p>

<p>it doesnt matter.</p>

<p>just go to a good school you like.......... good schools tend to have good econ programs..............it's only undergrad, most classes u take stop at the 500 level. UChicago vs William and Mary, not a huge difference.</p>

<p>Chicago and UPENN are the best schools for economics within reach. i mean you can go into the MITs and what not but those are so hard to get into that its not even worth talking about.</p>

<p>if you get into eaither of those two schools you are golden</p>

<p>^
Upenn is a huge reach for anyone who applies, many awesome applicants are turned down year after year. But its an incredible university, as ajp87 said anyone who gets in is golden. Besides it has wharton. hurray lol</p>

<p>well of course it is a huge reach. i'm just saying that schools like Harvard and MIT shouldnt really be put into the equation because those are so far fetched and unrealistic.</p>

<p>thanx dyip that was a tremendous help!</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Rice University's undergraduate Economics program is good? Is it among the best ones in the nation?</p>

<p>Rice University's program is very well-respected.</p>

<p>It's pretty good. Not renowned like those of the larger universities, but it is certainly among the best in the nation.</p>

<p>In regard to LACs, specifically Reed, Vassar, and Middlebury, how are the econ departments?</p>

<p>Some LACs have very good Econ departments. All three that you mention do. As do Amherst, Carleton, Claremont McKenna, Haverford, Macalester, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wesleyan and Williams.</p>

<p>Shocking but true:</p>

<p>econ at LAC:</p>

<ol>
<li>Wellesley</li>
<li>Wesleyan</li>
</ol>

<p>for the anatomically correct of both sexes!</p>

<p>lol i was very disappointed when i realized that byrn mawr was a women's college, since I thought it was beautiful and wanted to apply there. At least Wesleyan is nice enough to give me and my best friend a chance.</p>

<p>How about bowdoin?</p>

<p>anyone know about Bowdoin's economic's program?</p>

<p>About Wellesley being the only school on Goldman Sachs' hit list....you're wrong. Goldman, Sachs & Co, Inc. under Finance.</p>
