I don't, sorry. Have you tried searching yourself, or posting in another forum? Around here, you'll probably only get people telling you to go to some Ivy or top UC.</p>

<p>well that works fine because I was looking for UCB in particular</p>

<p>Although I am a little biased, I am going to go ahead and say UChicago has the best undergrad econ program hands down. </p>

<p>The reason for that statement is this: Many of our professors earned their PhDs from various institutions - Princeton, Harvard, Berkeley etc. All of them tell us how much more rigorous the program here is compared to undergrad programs from their doctoral schools.</p>

<p>Otherwise, the other top programs, in no particular order:
MIT
Stanford
Princeton</p>

<p>I don't Cal necessarily has a good undergrad econ program - most kids looking into business go to Haas to earn a degree in business.</p>

<p>I think the difference in other top schools is marginal, meaning this shouldn't be a driving factor for you.</p>

<p>I hear Cal State Los Angeles has one of the best regional economics programs in Southern California in the country if you're looking for an entry-level position at a non-prestigious bank or credit union.</p>

<p>Look at the graduate rankings. They're somewhat representative.</p>
