<p>how good is UCLA econ program viewed in comparison to Cal's econ program?</p>
<p>when i went on the tour at cal, the guide said that their econ program is number 1 in the country right now</p>
<p>When I made my decision last year, I was also looking at rankings and stuff like that. But we're talking about an undergraduate degree here, and not a masters degree. For an undergraduate degree, all those rankings aren't as significant really. You're gonna end up in huge lecture halls with some good and some bad professors, that's it. I'd look more into the school's reputation as a whole and it's career networks. This is how you get jobs.</p>
<p>Once you decide to get a graduate degree, check out all the rankings and try to get into a top program.</p>
