<p>how are the economics programs at the following universities:</p>
<p>ASU
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UWashington
Georgetown
Emory
USC
NYU</p>
<p>If possible, can you rank these schools? And how do each school's economics program compare at nationally?</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
NYU
UCLA/Georgetown
UCSD/USC
UCI/Emory
UWashington
ASU</p>

<p>Emory should be placed where UCLA and Georgetown is.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
NYU
Georgetown
UCLA/Emory
UCSD
USC
UCI/ASU
UWashington</p>
<p>I know Berkeley's is top notch. =)</p>
<p>If we're talking pure economics, then UCLA is clearly stronger than G'Town. UCSD is also stronger than Emory.</p>
<p>If we're talking undergrad experience, then it gets far more complicated.</p>
<p>People seems to <em>assume</em> NYU must be good at econ because of its location. But if I remember correctly, it's actually ranked <em>below</em> UCLA and UCSD.</p>
<p>woah almost like de ja vu I asked this same ? like over a yr ago in a really old thread. Ok now to ranking, well what I learned from those kind ppl who posted over there was:
UC Berkely
UCLA
NYU
Emory
UCSD
USC
Georgetown
UWashington
UCI
ASU</p>
<p>all these school are amazing though, don't get caught up in their minor differences in rank.</p>
<p>Sam,</p>
<p>Actually, most rankings put NYU in the top ten these days, with strength in macro and financial economics. It's a tossup between UCLA and NYU in a lot of areas, but I'd say that UCSD is clearly weaker in most things but econometrics, in which they generally are considered excellent. </p>
<p>But again, departmental rankings are not always the best indicator of undergrad training. I'd choose a top LAC over UCSD for undergrad educational quality any day.</p>
<p>danceluvur26,</p>
<p>Georgetown is, at best, a top 50 department in econ. It does not even begin to compare to UCLA and UCSD for overall economics department strength.</p>
<p>If I had to be pressed to do an absolute ranking (a sticky and somewhat silly affair), then...</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UCLA/NYU
UCSD
USC
ASU
Washington
Irvine
Emory</p>
<p>This is, of course, based on publication strength, and a variety of other academic factors. THIS IS NOT AN ACCURATE RANKING FOR UNDERGRAD EDUCATIONAL STRENGTH.</p>
<p>The entire notion of an "undergrad economics department" is flawed. It's like arguing statistics when your p-value is .5-- meaningless.
