<p>Got admitted by the college of liberal arts at U-Minn, major is Economics. I've seen a wide variety of ranking, and it appears that U-Minn's Economics program is pretty good. But I'm not quite sure about the undergraduate program. Look forward to hearing what you guys have to say about it.</p>
<p>Hailey, I don't know too much, but what I have heard has been only positive about the school in general. It is supposed to be a very good overall school and their undergraduate economic program is considered very strong. Congrats on your acceptance!</p>
<p>I have been taking economics classes at the UMN for two years and I think their program is great. Many of the economics faculty are internationaly well known and you will find their TAs very helpful. Only downside is that the introduction level classes are huge.. For example, Principle of Microeconomics classes have the largest enrollment out of any other classes at the U. But as you move up, the classes will become more interesting. Also, they are known to be more focused on Macro aspect of the economics.. just for your information.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, appreciate it!</p>
<p>Any more information i should be aware of???</p>
<p>being a minnesotan, but not a u of m student myself, I have heard great things about the ecnomics program from friends who are students. what I know about the university overall: The u of m is rising up in the prestige ladder, this year becoming especially more selective than previous years so congrats on your acceptance. I go to the top public school in the state and many highly qualified students are being rejected or postponed. By the time you graduate I expect the U to have a great reputation in the academic and professional world, which is something to look forward to when you make your decision now. good luck and congrats!</p>
<p>what are the advantages and disadvantages of U-Minn's undergraduate Economics program? U-Minn's overall ranking isn't really impressing, how convincing can it be?</p>
