<p>Northwestern.</p>
<p>UIUC, no doubt</p>
<p>I agree with Northwestern. Just do the Certificate Program for business.</p>
<p>If you are up for the challenge, I’d go with Northwestern.</p>
<p>The range of business-related courses at Northwestern is so astonishing that you can literally get the full-blown business curriculum <em>in addition</em> to your econ major at Northwesten. Take a look at the following:</p>

<p>There are also management sciences department and undergrad certificates from Kellogg but they are highly quantitative:

<p>Well it only makes sense to go with UIUC because he prefers business over economics.
But, like the above two posts suggest, if you want to stick to economics and do something business related as well, go with Northwestern.</p>
<p>I spent my summer in a business program (LEAD) at UIUC and I loved it, i felt comfortable and felt at home… i also know the deans of the business school</p>
<p>plus, freshman year i would go on two trips abroad for free</p>
<p>Take the time to have a hard look at jobs and salaries of recent grads at both.</p>
