<p>How is economics at UMICH? I am thinking of majoring in economics and statistics instead of going to Ross.</p>
<p>I believe top 1,2, or 3 in the nation, but I don't know from a personal standpoint. I think there are a lot of big classes and a tough curve.</p>
<p>Hi tushar, Econ was discussed sometime ago. Heres the link to that thread.</p>
<p>no...i dont think UMICH econ is in the top ten, i think it is 11th.
the first one is UPENN for sure and the rest are the Ivy League</p>
<p>Tushar, there are no undergraduate rankings of Econ departments. Michigan's graduate Econ program is ranked anywhere between #7 and #15, depending on the source. In terms of quality, I would compare Michigan's Economics department to Columbia's and UCLA's. </p>
<p>liuzhi, Penn is not #1 in Economics. That honor goes to Chicago or MIT. Penn is generally not considered a top 5 Econ programs, since Harvard, Princeton and Stanford are generally considered better as well. I would say Penn is ranked anywhere between #6 and #10 in Econ, on par with Cal, Northwestern and Yale. </p>
<p>My take on the top undergraduate Econ departments:</p>
<p>GROUP I:
Harvard University
Massachusetts Insitute of Technology
Princeton University
Stanford University
University of Chicago</p>
<p>GROUP II:
Northwestern University
University of California-Berkeley
University of Pennsylvania
Yale University</p>
<p>GROUP III:
Columbia University
University of California-Los Angeles
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</p>
<p>GROUP IV:
Brown University
Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Duke University
New York University
University of California-San Diego
University of Rochester
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>Quick dumb question: In the LSA course guide , they give three Econ 101 classes with the only difference between is the 1st has Section 100 , 2nd has Section 200 and 3rd has Section 300. Whats the difference between these?</p>
<p>The section number difference means different time and professor. For econ 101, don't take the section that Hogan teaches. Take Gerson, and thank me when you still enjoy Economics in January.</p>
<p>ha, after exams I'm gonna have to harass some Econ students for questions about which classes to take</p>
<p>I shall keep that in mind:p! Gerson it is!. Oh and by the way can I take Econ 101 in the first semester and Econ 102 in the second. OK i know i can but is it reccomended?</p>
<p>Yes gomez, that's fine. I don't see any reason why not to. I wish I could have done that, but had to get the dreaded math requirement out of the way in my first semester. On the other hand, I'm not really worried about waiting to take 102 next fall. If I was in Orgo Chemistry and took the first part in the winter, I'd be worried about forgetting it all over the summer. Econ won't be like that for ya. (At least the intro ones)</p>
<p>And Cvjn, I just had my final tuesday if you have any questions.</p>
<p>I'll PM you after Wednesday when my exams are done. I chose a few classes (can't actually choose until orientation but you know...) and supposedly I'm up in the 19 credit area with my normal 5 classes, I just thought that was kind of weird. </p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>Im googling Lecture Notes for Econ 101. Seem to be coming up with a blank so far :p.
I need to get my hands on a textbook tooo.</p>
<p>Okay no idea why I'm posting this.</p>
<p>You want to know how good Michigan's Econ department is. Here you go:</p>
<p>Honoestly, how many Econometrics professors at other universities would do that for their undergraduate students!</p>
<p>Oh just wanted to ask... </p>
<p>Is AP Econ in Micro and Macro ....similiar to the Econ 101 and Econ 102 courses at Michigan?</p>
<p>Is AP Econ in Micro and Macro ....similiar to the Econ 101 and Econ 102 courses at Michigan?</p>
<p>Yes and not. The material is pretty much the same, but 101 and 102 are more in-depth.</p>
