<p>hey..does anybody ave an idea of how good the economics departments of cornell,columbia,john hopkins is?plus does any1 ave an idea of a skool with a great economics department in either new york or maryland?pls leave your comments.tnx</p>

<p>economics is going to be strong at any of the ivies. i am not sure about JHU. NYU in NYC has a one of the best business schools so i'm sure its economics department if you go to stern is very good as well. not sure of any in maryland.</p>

<p>You should check this Top 50 B-Schools Chart by Business Week. Even though it's not 100% accurate it could help you as a guide. Cornell's Business Program is more focused on Agriculture/Food Service and Hotel Management.</p>
