Hello all! Does anyone know how prestigious / good NYU CAS Econ is? Can’t really find the ranking of it
Relatively speaking, NYU CAS Econ is great. NYU is an excellent school and is smack dab in the middle of the financial district. NYU has an incredible alumni base, so networking and job placement is good. That being said, depending on your desired career path, you are competing with NYU Stern students. They have access to more career resources and are viewed as more valuable candidates because of Stern’s prestige and competitive admissions.
CAS Econ is among the top economics programs in the country, but has SwellyBelly has pointed out, there will be some competition with Stern students in terms of internships/employment prospects. That being said, however, Stern clubs are mostly open to CAS Econ students as well, and many “Stern-only” networking opportunities are actually open to all students (but Stern students are the only ones who are notified). So if you put in the extra effort, you will truly be able to reap the benefits of NYU’s location and prestige.
Thank you guys so much!!
