<p>Hi,I will join Case this Fall semester, majored in Economics.</p>

<p>Dept. of Econ is in the Weatherhead School of Management, not as usual in the School of Arts and Sciences. Any differences?</p>

<p>Also, I found the undergraduate management program is strong, how about the Dept. of Econ? </p>

<p>And do u guys know the situation of Weatherhead graduates ? Persue a Ph.D.? or getting a job first? I mean the average level.</p>

<p>For the city of Cleveland, is there many jobs for finance-oriented students?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>For econ, they are strong in micro but very weak in macro.</p>

<p>maybe u mean the research level,how about the undergraduates?</p>

<p>No, the77 means at the level of undergraduate instruction. Econ is not, as a whole, strong at Case. And it is especially obvious in marco-focused classes. That being said, its location in the business school is a positive, as outside of the BME and biology programs, it is one of the stronger areas here. Of course, that is a highly relative term, as excluding a few select science programs, the general academic climate is quite unimpressive.</p>

<p>I check the first destination survey report by Career center, I see about 5 out of 23 ECON graduates were admitted into a top graduate program.
You know ,I wanna know more about the situation behind these figures,
So, for Econ undergraduate of Case who wanna persue a phD, what's your personal opinion ?</p>

<p>Sorry, I wish i knew ANYTHING about econ at Case so that I could help- but i'd take gprime's advice with a grain of salt, he seems to trash everything.</p>
