If the original poster is talking about undergraduate economics, the poster should look at:


The ranking of the faculty of the department
The requirements of the major (make sure econometrics is required)
The professors of the classes (make sure the most well known professors actually teach undergraduate classes)
The requirements for a bachelors degree in general (your major is only 1/3 of the classes you take)
Econ/Math or Econ/International Studies or Econ/Politics/Philisophy options


Basically, Econ PHD rankings aren’t too relevant unless you want to do an Econ PhD, which most Econ majors don’t want to do. More important is the overall undergraduate reputation, along with the size and the reputation of the econ department.
