Best university for someone who hopes to major in Economics

<p>.. and maybe a minor in math alongside an economics major?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>your stats please ;]</p>

<p>u of chicago</p>

<p>chicago. mit a close second.</p>

<p>For a combination of econ and math, I’d say MIT first, followed closely by Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, and Stanford. UC Berkeley is also right up there on the faculty side, though as a large public it’s a different kind of school. But those are all pretty reachy schools for anyone. You can get a very good undergraduate educati0on in econ with a math minor at any of the Ivies, other top privates like Northwestern or Duke, other top publics like UCLA, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and most of the top LACs.</p>

<p>If the intention is to go to graduate school in economics, look for a school where the intermediate microeconomics course has a prerequisite of multivariable calculus (some schools like Berkeley offer both a “more math” and a “less math” version of intermediate microeconomics – the “more math” version is recommended for those intending to go to graduate school in economics).</p>

<p>Additional advanced courses or a minor or a second major in math and/or statistics would also be helpful for an economics major intending to go to graduate school.</p>
