<p>I loved everything about BC when I visited - the campus, location, surrounding area, love the sports culture, love Boston. I know it’s a great school, and probably a match or target school for me. It’s not my number 1 choice right now, but definitely high on my list.</p>
<p>However, how strong is the economics major at BC? This is what I’m interested in studying in college. Thanks for any responses!</p>
<p>BC is no Chicago, but it has a pretty solid Econ department. </p>
<p>"Rankings of elite national universities released this month by U.S. News & World Report include the Boston College Economics Ph.D. program at 31st in the US. This is the highest ranking achieved by any of the University’s Ph.D. programs.</p>
<p>Rankings by RePEc’s IDEAS site list BC Economics as 17 among US economics departments, and 23 among economics departments worldwide. These rankings, taking account of citations to authors’ works and downloads of their materials from RePEc services, are based on the self-registration of faculty members in the RePEc Author Service, and reflect multiple affiliations of authors."</p>
