<p>How strong is the conservative nature of the economics department at UChicago?</p>
<p>I am an admitted student intersted in economics, and would appreciate any feedback.</p>
<p>Like at most universities, the economics department has historically been fairly conservative. In recent years though, there has been a slight move away from the Milton Friedman economic ideologies for more ‘liberal’ ideas. Ultimately, this just means that you can find both ideologies and have a fairly balanced education.</p>
