<p>How is Emory Econ program rated by students/people?</p>
<p>Can it be compared to CMU Tepper Econ?</p>
<p>Also, is Emory B-school highly regarded?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>The B-school is ranked in the top 20 nationally. I don't know about the econ department specifically.</p>
<p>I would appreciate a response to the quality of the economics department. I am considering double majoring in econ-math, but want to have some input on the program. - Thanks</p>
<p>emory business school was ranked #5 (refer to business week)</p>
<p>I know about the Business School ranking, but I am not sure I want to go to the Business School, and want to know more about the Emory College Econ program.</p>
<p>You should email a professor, preferably the head of the department. They will give you all the information you would want to know.</p>
<p>Here is the reply I received, it may help others in a similar situation also:</p>
<p>"In my opinion, the economics major here is comparable to the best
programs anywhere. As to job placement, our economics graduates do
about as well as BBA's in job placements with financial firms and have
about the same starting salaries. The economics degree is better than
an undergraduate busines degree if you puruse an MBA for the reasons you
touch on -- a broader education (indeed, there is not that much
difference between the BBA and MBA, so you end up doing the same courses
twice, in some cases). The math-economics or physics economics would
make you attractive to firms needing advanced technical skills. The
math-economics degree is very good preparation for graduate work in
either economics or finance. An economics major with strong math
background is also very good perparation for graduate school."</p>
