<p>usc. close to home...if you like that. better sports. econ programs are probably about similar at both--but you have more options at usc should you decide to change your mind.</p>
<p>Rice is a great school but I would not choose it over USC for Econ major. I suggest you look at the study abroad programs at both schools for Econ major and see where you will expand your horizons. Marshall business is very global oriented should you decide to major or minor at Marshall.</p>
