<p>WashU's known as a medical powerhouse, Olin is a good business school and overall, WashU is known for having good academics but I was wondering if anyone could talk about Econ specifically? Or how an undecided would fare at WashU.</p>
<p>Their econ department is not currently too well known, but is on a major push to improve, including enlarging the department’s faculty, and the department just moved into a new building, which is shared with the law school.</p>
