<p>Hi, a friend of mine is trying to decide if UVA or U of Washington is better in the graduate econ program. Would appreciate any input.</p>
<p>McIntire school of commerce for UVA is the best in the country</p>
<p>Business school has nothing to do with economics depts. I know UVa’s econ dept had some serious problems a few years ago and the grad students were telling prospective grad students to stay away. Neither is ranked in the Top 25 for econ. I’d go where the most money (fin aid) is. Both are in nice locations.</p>
