Best economics program?

I don't know where you would find such a ranking, you might want to ask a reference librarian. I do know the best US business schools are Wharton, Harvard and Yale.

University of Chicago is an economics powerhouse.

Green Witch .. if only I could... The thing is - I currently live in Europe ( my parents decided I would get the best high-school education here ). In my school there is no councelor or librarian... or anyone who could help me with that...
Roger- thanx, I'll log on to their web site

Well, I'm a little surprised there are no libraries in Europe, but here is the email address for the reference desk at The New York Public Library : [email protected]
If you email your question they usually get back to you in 48 hours. Just address it to "Reference Librarian".

IMHO, the top ranked b schools will also have a very good undergraduate degree program.

What do you wish to do with a Economics degree?
That question should help you decide which schools will assist you in meeting your goals.

Good luck.

By the way, niyawolf, CI's third ranked school (Pennsylvania) is the Wharton school mentioned by Green Witch.

My brother-in-law recently got his MBA from Wharton.

Green Witch - Thank you... I sent them an e-mail. Every time I come back to the US I spend at least a day at a public library. I know it sounds unbelievable but almost no one goes to the library in Eastern Europe. Only 2 libraries in the whole country are equipped with computers... people here are really behind.

cicerone imposter - Thanx.. I really had no idea that UC Berkeley has lost its prestige... It's always been in the top 10.... Grrrr.... I was thinking of aplying there but... oh well...
It's really important to me that I get the best education. I've struggled so much to have all "A" and to pass the AP exams and SATs that I'm absolutely obsessed with getting one of the top 10 economics schools. I'm considering a double major with Social Anthropology or Comparative Human Development( or History in the worst case scenario).
