Columbia GS econ vs NYU CAS econ

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia School of General Studies

<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I have been admitted to both schools and it is not easy to make up my mind.</p>

<p>I intend to pursue ph.d in economics right after graduation and I believe that I should take as many econ-math courses as possible with good grades.</p>

<p>At NYU, most of courses are 4 credits, while Columbia usually offers 3 credit courses.
This means that I can take much more courses at Columbia before I graduate.</p>

<p>Despite this advantage, I am concerned about so many gossips about Columbia GS.</p>

<p>I'd really happy if someone who went to graduate schools for econ ph.d could help me.</p>

<p>Any advice or comment will be welcomed!</p>

<p>You take the same courses as a Columbia College undergrad as a GS student.</p>

<p>Go to Columbia. I have no hesitation writing that.</p>

<p>Agreed, no question if a PhD is your goal that GS econ is the place to go.</p>
