<p>Who can tell me the rankings of undergraduate Economics program? As detailed as possible, Thank you!!</p>
<p>University of Chicago BY FAR IS THE Best ECON program in the entire world.. 8 Nobel Prize winners working there ( i think its 8).</p>
<p>Wonderful, Thank you!</p>
<p>Yeah, UChicago shells out Econ Nobel prizes like its nobody's business. (get it?) Gotta love that Freidman school of thought. I hope I get in.</p>
<p>Chicago and LSE are the two top economics places in the world in my opinion.</p>
<p>LSE is more like Columbia...not quite as good as Chicago, Harvard, MIT, Princeton or Stanford.</p>
<p>Only most of them Nobel winners are recruited AFTER they received their prizes, or after they published the work that would eventually win them the prizes. </p>
<p>That is why I don't believe the Nobel prizes attest much to Chicago's productivity, and if anything, only emphasizes their obsession with prestige.</p>
<p>don't forget that other school in Cambridge - MIT is not too shabby in econ....</p>
<p>freakonomics, an AMAZING AMAZING book, was written by a uchicago prof. ;)</p>
<p>Caltech, Northwestern, and Yale also have great economics programs.</p>
<p>Caltech's undergraduate Econ department is actually not that strong.</p>
<p>Columbua is pretty good, I think.</p>
<p>Alexander posted a very gd list you may be interested in. I don't know where the thread is but i'll try 2 give you the link later.</p>
<p>Here it is, post #23 but I suggest you read through the entire thread. You're question is a common one on CC.</p>
<p>With Econ undergrad, top schools typically have top programs</p>
<p>Among the top schools would be HYPSM, UChicago, NU, Columbia and then Dartmouth, Duke, Brown, LACs like Williams</p>
<p>I'm not sure what numbers are for going into top grad Econ programs from each school, do they even exist?</p>

<p>Chicago, Yale, Princeton and Wellesley, and maybe MIT, have the strongest undergrad econ programs. Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Reed, Smith, Bryn Mawr, Claremont McKenna and Oberlin are great too.</p>

<p>Same Question as thoughtprocess</p>
<p>Well, Northwestern undergrad team has been the national champion of College Fed Challenge two years in a row. In the midwest regional, they beat Chicago (and others in that region). So having Nobel winners as professors doesn't necessarily mean you'll learn more.</p>
<p>jeez...winning a competition has nothing with economics education, especially the Fed Challenge where judging factors in other components</p>
