<p>I have been admitted to CAS econ. and thinking about going there
so i want to know how good NYU Econ is
because i often hear NYU withouth Stern is really nothing...</p>
<ul>
<li>NYU/CMU/Emory</li>
<li>econ major</li>
</ul>
<p>which would you prefer?</p>
<p>(i WILL try to transfer (Stern) but in case this does not work out)</p>
<p>NYU Cas econ is just like NYU stern econ. They are virtually identical with the same prestige.</p>
<p>CAS and Stern share the same exact econ. department.</p>
<p>does it mean it is worth going there even if i dont get into stern?</p>

<p>ahaha that is simply untrue</p>
<p>That's like saying that Penn is nothing without Wharton. Not true.</p>
<p>how is CAS econ "just like" stern econ? i hear people raving about stern's economic all the time, but never come across anyone saying that the CAS's econ is just as good. </p>
<p>i mean, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of STERN?</p>
<p>Stern is Stern, CAS economics is more theoretical in nature and Stern economics is more applicable to business environment.</p>
<p>Stern has other things - Finance, Management, Accounting. The purpose is not defeated.</p>
<p>Dont you take classes with Stern students in the same stern classes? The only thing that is dofferent in the title of the schools; mainly STERN and CAS...</p>
<p>no you don't take your main classes with Stern students in Stern. only Macro and micro(basic easy courses) both Stern and CAS take together in CAS. after that both go their different ways. CAS- CAS Classes Stern- Stern econ classes
They both have different professors. Stern economics is more applicable to the business environment and CAS is more theoretical atleast in the early stages.</p>
<p>"They both have different professors. Stern economics is more applicable to the business environment and CAS is more theoretical atleast in the early stages."</p>
<p>That is blatantly false. I'm an econ major who has classes with people from both schools. There is only one econ department, it's part of CAS, and it's where students from CAS and Stern take classes. Perhaps you are confusing undergrad econ with finance or MBA econ, which are Stern departments.</p>
<p>what classes did you take with Stern students? macro and micro</p>
<p>Macro, micro, and one elective. I'm in the theory concentration and doubling in math. Are you even an econ major??? Anyone who knows about the econ department at NYU knows there is only one for undergrads of both CAS and Stern with the same classes and profs.</p>

<p>yea Econ at Stern would defeat it's own purpose if CAS offered the same program, the exclusiveness of Stern would be undermined.</p>
<p>You do know that Stern offers more than just Econ right?</p>
<p>take it from someone who knows what he's talking about(ABirchIII)....they're the same programs. This doesn't make Stern any less "exclusive"... so don't worry about that.</p>
<p>"yea Econ at Stern would defeat it's own purpose if CAS offered the same program, the exclusiveness of Stern would be undermined."</p>
<p>Exclusiveness (sp?) is not the issue genuis, econ is a liberal arts subject, that's why its in CAS and not the business school. By your logic, NYU's math and philosophy departments should be in the law school since exclusive departments should be in exclusive schools.</p>
<p>The difference between being an econ major at Stern and an econ major at CAS is everything besides the econ part (although econ majors at Stern have to take less classes to fulfill the major, I believe). CAS kids take all the extra liberal arts classes, Stern kids take business core classes - so, if you're an econ major at Stern, you'd also take intro to accounting, finance, management, etc.</p>
