<p>How have people's experiences been with this major at Stanford?</p>
<p>bump please, thanks...</p>
<p>An economics professor at UChicago told me that he thought public policy was not a good major if you are interested in going to business school or pursuing economics at the post-grad level since it is less rigorous mathematically because you pick several politcal science courses. </p>
<p>He said in an e-mail, "(Also, off the record, I don't think it's a good thing to major in public policy as an undergraduate; too warm & fuzzy and not enough rigor or substantive quantitative and economics work.)"</p>
<p>I am a public policy major at stanford. It is a great department because it is small so you get a lot of individual attention but the classes also cover a lot of material from different departments around campus. The econ you take as a pp major more than covers the classes needed in b school. I would highly recommend the major.</p>
