<p>How good is the Economics Department at Columbia? Is there a Finance department or is it part of Economics department? Is it a target school for IBanks? Thanks.</p>
<p>It’s world-renowned and is probably the largest dept. Econ is one of, if not the most popular majors, and students can choose to do a specialized (somewhat) financial econ major or a separate business minor. Plenty of finance internships are available both during the year and in the summer, and it is a target school.</p>
