<p>Topic question. What are you opinions about the econ programs of either of these schools? I would like to specifically major in econ and then perhaps go to law school. I've heard good things about NYU's prog and job placement, is it pretty good? </p>

<p>Intangibles: $10k/year less to attend NYU, and I've been accepted into the honors programs of both schools. </p>

<p>Where would you go based on this major?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>They are simply not in the same league. The NYU CAS Economics is a first-rate economics department, one of the best in the country. Take a look at their web site, <a href="http://www.econ.nyu.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.econ.nyu.edu/&lt;/a>. The GW Economics doesn't come even close. Moreover, in terms of both overall reputation and academic quality, NYU is far superior to GW.</p>

<p>This shouldn't even be a topic of discussion. NYU's economics department (one of the top 10 in the country by any standard) is FAR superior to GW's econ. dept. (a good department but not a great one). NYU's job placement and law school placement is also way better than GW's.</p>
