“The History/Economics comparison at Chicago is a little misleading, though. There are Economics professors stashed at Booth and even some at NORC, I believe.”
- Booth profs tend to be tied up with both PhD's (both at the b-school and the dept) and MBA's when I was there. The occasional undergrad would take a course or two and even work with a prof. but those kids were headed for PhD-ville themselves.
NORC - now that’s an interesting one. Guessing there are undergrad internships there? One doesn’t have to do economics - there are a variety of social scientists over there. While NORC researchers don’t teach in the college, they also don’t have the same commitments that full time faculty members are going to have with the grad program.
