<p>I plan on doing economics as a major to pursue business (like working for apple or something like that) and I wanted to know which ivy is best for that major, I'm planning on doing Early action to one this fall and was just curious. Thanks guys, just looking for a little more direction haha. Any little helps :)</p>

<p>Wouldn’t a better question be, “What college or university is best for economics major?”</p>

<p>And wouldn’t an even better question be, “Could you all help me find a really good college or university for me if I want to study economics?”</p>

3

<p>All of them.</p>

4

<p>Harvard. But if I was going to pick any university for econ, it would be George Mason.</p>

5

<p>Why only Ivy’s? There are many great schools aside from the institutions that are in that specific sports conference.</p>

<p>Any of the Ivy’s are going to have great econ/business programs though.</p>

6

<p>If you want to work at Apple, it may be better to attend school local to Apple.</p>

<p>None of the schools local to Apple’s headquarters are in the Ivy League. Stanford and Berkeley are in the Pac-12. San Jose State is in the Mountain West Conference. Santa Clara is in the West Coast Conference. UCSC is an independent NCAA Division III school.</p>

7

<p>UChicago. Just as prestigious as any Ivy. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>Probably Harvard just because.</p>

<p>Not sure if Wharton has econ, but Wharton would be the best for a business career path.</p>

9

<p>Penn Wharton grants “Bachelor of Science in Economics” degrees.</p>

<p>However, the curriculum is clearly a business curriculum (which does include some economics courses with an emphasis on applications to business), not a liberal arts type of economics curriculum.</p>
