<p>How is the economics department at Fordham? S has narrowed down his choices to Fordham (full tuition scholarship), Villanova, or UVA. Cost is a factor, but we want to be sure the academics are challenging and that there are great opportunities for either a job or top graduate school.</p>
<p>Congrats to your son. My S is in the business school but two of his suite-mates are econ. majors they both like the program. He has taken four or five econ. classes (some required, some electives) and has has liked the profs. in that department. Hopefully someone who is an econ. major will chime in and give you more information.</p>
<p>I’m not in economics, but how about you suggest to your son that he email some of the professors in the department and ask them? Here’s the info for the department head:</p>
<p>Dominick Salvatore
Distinguished Professor, Chair of Economics and Director of the Graduate Program
