Best Economics Programs


#15 University of California – ​San Diego

#40 University of Washington

Neither is famous for Economics.
And is it a undergrad or graduate program?

Since neither is super good at econ, so it depends where do you want to study. Do you like Washington more Cali more.
I would say more HK people have heard of UC schools (like UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis etc).
And San Diego is really a nice city.

If you are looking for good undergrad econ programs, here is the list:
GROUP I:
Harvard University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Princeton University
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley

GROUP II:

Claremont McKenna College (#1 among LACs in Economics)
Colgate College

The problem is the major is the determining factor.

So without your major, your question is unable to answer.
