Take a look at MIT Open CourseWare Economics. Free Online MIT Course Materials | Economics | MIT OpenCourseWare

I was really impressed how they taught their intro. microeconomics course.

If Northeastern is the best school you get into, go there. It doesn't matter much beyond that.

I'm not sure if it's the "best I can get into" but I like it the most.

Anyways, I hear rankings of specific majors doesn't matter too much (unless it is like business, engineering).

What do you like about the Penn Econ program? It seems very limited for undergrad by Wharton. Most schools have econ classes in finance, but Penn seems to lack that just because of Wharton.

Penn has a good econ department. I wouldn't worry so much about it.

If you want to take finance classes in wharton, you can still do that, even if you're a student at CAS. That's the thing, I'd rather hand pick a couple of wharotn finance courses and take those as a CAS econ major, than have to bore my way through accounting, marketing courses etc.

How is Tulane's econ department? I know its not elite but is it considered good?

Would a double major in economics and international development be a good idea at Tulane?

Would this be attractive to a variety of employers? I'm not exactly sure what I want to do after college in terms of a career but I want to pursue an MBA and I want to do something with an international emphasis. Would finance be better than International development?

Thanks

At Penn...is there high economics ranking off of wharton or cas? I have no interest in going to work right away, but would rather pursue a jd or phd in economics.
Also, emory has a top 5 business program, but are they really lacking in economics?
