Rice's undergraduate Economics program

Does anyone know if Rice University's undergraduate Economics program is good? Is it among the best ones in the nation?

Rice University's program is very well-respected.

It's pretty good. Not renowned like those of the larger universities, but it is certainly among the best in the nation.

Some LACs have very good Econ departments. All three that you mention do. As do Amherst, Carleton, Claremont McKenna, Haverford, Macalester, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wesleyan and Williams.

Wellesley is the only LAC on Goldman Sach's official recruiting list. So if you have a pussy, you cant go wrong with Wellesley.

lol i was very disappointed when i realized that byrn mawr was a women's college, since I thought it was beautiful and wanted to apply there. At least Wesleyan is nice enough to give me and my best friend a chance.

About Wellesley being the only school on Goldman Sachs' hit list....you're wrong. Goldman, Sachs & Co, Inc. under Finance.
