<p>how good is the econ program at vandy?
is it very reputable and does it lead to good job opportunities after graduation at top companies?</p>
<p>Econ is one of the most prevalent majors. When S graduated in 2006, I counted the number of economics majors/double majors in the program (graduation is a wonderful, but LONG morning). I think there were just over 200 majors graduating from about 1200 A&S kids. Job opportunities are excellent. If you search through some of the archived threads for Vanderbilt, you'll find a plethora of information on this major.</p>
<p>As a current economics major here, I could not say enough wonderful things about the department. One of my professors knew some people in D.C. and I have an internship for the summer with an economic think tank. People take economics really seriously and since there is no business major, all of the people interested in business are economics majors. It's competitive but a great program.</p>
