<p>How about some suggestions for great programs for ECON and International Business/Relations for non-Ivy schools. Is there anywhere on the web that lists these schools? Thanks</p>
<p>Check out Brandeis–It is home to a school specializing in international business and has strong programs in economics and global studies (especially Mid East related).</p>
<p>Brandeis is not accredited in international business, or in any kind of business, at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>Schools you might consider for international business include Santa Clara, University of Denver, University of South Carolina (usually considered the top of the heap), American, George Washington, NYU.</p>
<p>What are the hallmarks of a great international business program? In other words, what makes South Carolina’s such a great program?</p>
<p>How about Fordham?</p>
<p>Business isn’t something you really need to study as an undergraduate. If you want to go into business, you can study what you enjoy, whether international studies, economics, engineering, biology, etc.</p>
<p>Brandeis isn’t accredited for UG business, but, quite frankly, Brandeis is a good enough school that you should certainly look into it for the strength of the international affairs programs.</p>

<p>That’s because they have LOTS of maps - at least Ms. Upton. Miss South Carolina, thinks they do </p>
<p>Q: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is? </p>
<p>During the pageant: “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.”</p>

<p>Mini–you are correct that Brandeis’s International Business School is a graduate school (which is fully accredited by the way) but you ignore the fact that it shares faculty and facilities with the economics department, which is a fully accredited undergraduate program. There are a lot of international business courses available to undergraduates, which is why I suggested the op take a look. While it is true that one would end up with the BA in economics as opposed to business–I’m not sure what difference that would make.</p>
<p>An economics department is a FAR cry from a business department.</p>
<p>At the graduate level, the Moore School of Business at South Carolina has outranked Wharton, UMichigan, NYU, etc. for international business for almost two decades, and has been the number one public for as long as I can remember. At the undergraduate level, they are known for articulated internships around the world, with curriculum meshed with actual work opportunities in the country of choice. Something like 40% of the faculty come from abroad, often chosen for scholarship related to the home region and their capacity to build programs in their home countries.</p>
<p>I should have added that the undergraduate school for international business at U.South Carolina has ranked #1 for 11 straight years (ahead of Wharton, Stern, Ross, and the usual cast of characters):</p>

<p>Northwestern for ECON.</p>
<p>northeastern in boston is a great school for international business, and i second Northwestern for econ.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna</p>
<p>It depends what you want to do after college. Be careful of people trying to bring the graduate school rankings into this though. Although the graduate program might share some faculty with the undergraduate program, the undergraduate program is probably not nearly as selective, which hurts when you’re trying to get recruited.</p>
<p>what about the University of Richmond?</p>

<p>You would be fortunate if you were admitted to Richmond.</p>
<p>Business Week ranks the University of Richmond #20 for undergraduate business programs.</p>

<p>^It has quickly climbed my list of colleges. I will be applying and hopefully admitted!</p>
<p>All of the elite LACs (Amherst, Bowdoin, Carleton, Haverford, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Williams) have very strong econ programs that send students into business as well as to the top PhD programs</p>
<p>If you read the last line of the link on the Moore School, you’d find that University of South Carolina ranked first for UNDERGRADUATE international business for 11 straight years.</p>
<p>Georgetown</p>
<p>SFS has excellent international economics major</p>
<p>McDonough School of business has strong programs in finance and international business</p>
