<p>How are the business and econ programs at Brandeis? Does Brandeis have a good reputation for these majors</p>
<p>So, the econ department does have a good reputation in part because it draws on the resources of the top ranked international business school. [Brandeis</a> University International Business School: Business, Economics and Finance for Global Leadership](<a href=“Global Brandeis | Brandeis University”>Brandeis International Business School) We actually just launched a business major for the next academic year because so many students have expressed interest in this area. You can do 5 year combined BA/Maief programs with the Int’l Business School. Contact the business and econ UDRs for more details about their experiences.

<p>As sulsk mentioned, Brandeis’ new, innovative undergrad Business major is being launched in conjunction with IBS in which economics will of course play a key role. The international focus of the grad business school–incredibly appropriate for the international economy in which we live–undoubtedly will add international flavor to the new undergrad Business major. That major will have a liberal arts focus unlike a lot of undergrad Business programs. Here’s a link to an article discussing it:</p>
