<p>Does anyone know how NYU ranks in Math and Economics (CAS, not Stern)? I'm considering do this with a minor in Pre-Business... would it be a good idea..?</p>
<p>(I'm a freshman there now)</p>
<p>NYU is well-regarded for both math (particularly applied math) and economics. Definitely in the top 15 for both.</p>
<p>NYU is top 10 in Math (top 3 in Applied Math) and top 20 in Economics (currently ranked #15 according to the USNWR). So yes, NYU is very strong in those subjects. </p>
<p>Just as a frame of reference, NYU's math department is ranked #10, tied with Cornell University... and Columbia's Math department is ranked #13 in the nation. Penn is ranked #16 in Math and Brown and Duke aren't even ranked in the top 20. So being ranked #10 in any field, and in this case, Mathematics, is a pretty impressive achievement. </p>
<p>In Economics, NYU is ranked #15, right behind #11 Columbia, Michigan and UCLA and ahead of #17 Cornell, #21 Brown and Duke. So again, being ranked in the top 20 in Economics is very impressive.</p>
<p>Where do you see these math and econ ranks? I cant find them in USNWR</p>
<p>With the exception of Business and Engineering, USNWR does not rank by subject at the undergraduate level. Those are graduate level rankings, but there is very little difference between graduate and undergraduate quality.</p>
<p>So, you guys would highly advise majoring in Economics and Mathematics with a minor in Pre-Business at NYU? If so, what would be the kind of job I would be shooting for out of college? (Best possible situation-salary, job title, description) thanks!</p>
<p>Pre-business is a minor/major? If you mean that your majoring in Economics and Mathematics is your undergraduate preparation for a future MBA, then yes, but I do not recommend anything on top of a double major in Economics and Mathematics. </p>
<p>As far as jobs go, if you maintain a high enough GPA (over 3.5), you will have many opportunities with large companies like GE, Honeywell, IBM etc...as well as the IBanks and, if you are very lucky, MCs. As far as titles go, they are usually titles of associate, analyst or rotational college graduate and salaries can varry anywhere from as low as $30,000 and as high as $70,000 (but the majority of those jobs pay in the $45,000-$55,000 range) not including bonuses.</p>
<p>is that a decent starting salary coming out of college? Sorry, I'm still learning it all.</p>
<p>Yes, $45,000-$55,000 is a very respectable startting salary. If you prove yourself early and consistantly, you can almost double your salary within 5 years.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a list of the top schools for Economics and the top schools for Applied Math. I saw that you knew a few rankings of certain schools. Do you happen to have a complete list you could send me or send me a link to?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>brown is ranked 5th in applied math</p>
<p>For economics NYU is one of the top 10 in the world. That is a better international ranking than Stern gets for business, at least judging by the research output and the calibre of professors you will be learning from.</p>
<p>NYU economics is phenomenal, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.</p>
<p>I don't think we're talking about stern here...stern is just the bschool at NYU, which is more prestigious than NYU in general. </p>
<p>Coming from CAS-econ/math, don't you think you'll be competing for jobs with the sternies?</p>
<p>idk if there is a good ranking of econ programs but ive always liked how alexandre grouped them in this post:</p>
<p>post#14</p>
<p>University of Chicago is also top hardcore with Econ.</p>
<p>According to this article,</p>
<p>NYU has the #1 ranked mathematics department in the country.</p>
<p>NYU has excellent Mathematics and Econ departments. Math is top 10 overall and Econ is top 15.</p>
