<p>Hey, how would you descrbe the economics department at NU (specifically managerial econ)? Are there alot of banks, etc. recruiting on campus? anything else would be helpful, thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone? Please, any help would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>NU econ is in the top 10 but NU has no business school at the undergrad level. Accordingly, as the first step, you should check out their econ dept's website and browse the course listing to see if they offer anything related to "managerial econ". Also you may also explore if there's any chance an undergrad with good standing can take couple classes normally available only for the grad/mba students (the B-school is consistently rated one of the best). </p>
<p>If your math background is strong, you may also take a look at "industrial engineering and management science" (offered at the engineering school) and MMSS (mathmetical method for social science; adjunct major). Both of them complement econ major pretty well. </p>

<p>Do you know how many people exactly do they accept to the MMSS and their requirements? Last time I asked the admission person who came and he said there are not many people doing this MMSS thing although he couldn't remember exactly the numbers.</p>
<p>I don't know. Their website has contact info of professors. Maybe you can email one of them directly? They posted "MMSS birthdays" for this month and there are 10 of them. Well, if you assume uniform distribution, there would be 120 students--about 30 students per class.</p>
<p>Many students who major in Economics at Northwestern do very well in the business and managerial world. Economics is also a popular double major for students at the School of Education & Social Policy who want to study public policy and labor economics. Kellogg is ranked as one of the best b-schools in the country. If you really want to major in business at NU, economics, industrial engineering and MMSS, as Sam Lee, said is the best way to go. I know a friend who has an economics concentration as an Industrial Engineering major in McCormick. Economics Dept does provide some accounting and money banking courses at the upper-level. </p>

<p>also consider UChicago.</p>
<p>"When you visit paris, You have to see the Louvre. When you come to Chicago, you have to take Economics." from a professor who the students at UChicago absolutely love!</p>
