<p>How would you rank UCSD's undergrad econ department nationally? Also how are the career opportunities and grad/b-school opportunities from receiving a econ degree from UCSD?</p>
<p>Econ at UCSD is quite prestigious. If you see the ranking at USNWR you’d be able to see that UCSD actually ranks higher than UCLA.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, you should realize that Econ dept at UCSD is strong primarily because of the econometrics. If you are looking at Econometrics program, UCSD will definitely help you. however besides the econometrics ucsd isn’t really well known for other areas of economics.</p>
