<p>Ok, thank you. So Harvard, Yale and MIT have the best economics department + they offer the best financial aid packages? But doesn’t Princeton have a great economics department too?</p>
<p>The University of Chicago is also known to have one of the best economics departments around. I haven’t heard much about Princeton’s economics.</p>
<p>The best economics departments are MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, and Stanford. </p>
<p>However, this really shouldn’t matter to you as an undergraduate student unless you want to enter a Ph.D. program in economics after college, in which case you’ll want to start off at the best econ department possible.</p>
<p>Yale is strong but not as good as the aforementioned schools and especially not MIT, Harvard, and Princeton.</p>
