<p>These are all fine schools. There’s a thread on here about the best undergraduate economics programs:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/business-major/137062-best-undergraduate-economics-program.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/business-major/137062-best-undergraduate-economics-program.html&lt;/a&gt;
a little over halfway down the first page there is a list that breaks the top economics programs into different levels. You could tack on a math major/minor at any of them I assume.</p>

<p>As for grad school, I know US News ranks a lot of different grad programs, so you might want to check them out. You might not even need grad school, especially if you go to a good undergrad. As far as grad schools that are notorious for banking/finance go, the MBA programs at Harvard, Stanford and Wharton are the first to come to mind, and there’s a good MBA forum here on CC that you could check out if you’re interested.</p>
