<p>I was reading other threads and some of them said that class sizes for economics are HUGE! The foundation classes are aroun 100+ students and the higher econ classes are around 50 students!</p>
<p>Since I will have to take economics courses when I go to Ross, does that mean I will be part of such big classes? </p>
<p>Is it a bad idea to go to Ross if I am student who needs more personalized attention and likes smaller classes? How undergraduate centered in Ross?</p>
<p>I really value your opinions, thanks alot guys!</p>
<p>Classes at Michigan are not that big. It is a myth that is propagated by whiny Michigan students who are high-maitenance and clueless and by detractors with personal agendas because their own universities cannot measure up to Michigan. Econ classes at Columbia, Duke and NU are practically as large as Econ classes at Michigan. Ross classes tend to be reasonably sized. As a rule, professors at Michigan will see to it that each student gets the attention needed to succeed, so there is not need to worry.</p>
<p>Intro Econ classes are 300+ stduents, 401 and 402 (intermediate macro) are about 250-300 (a lot drop out after the first midterm), and the rest are anywhere from 75-100+ students. </p>
<p>Ross classes can be anywhere from 30-65 students (depending on the class). </p>
<p>However, the issue is not class size when it comes to quality. Business classes are just taught much better and the resources available to business students are just a lot more than economics students in LSA.</p>
<p>every ross core class has 60 students except LHC 250 and 350 and accounting 272, which are generally around 15-20. Electives range from 15-60, with none being larger than 60. 60 isnt actually that large - for example, all my professors know me pretty well and we’re on a first name basis, etc.</p>
<p>The only large ross class is acc 271 lecture, which is huge. the professor for that (klemstine) is really good though and its not like accounting is a subject that really benefits from smaller sections (still just going to be a professor lecturing)</p>
