I am a senior in high school and I am doing a dual enrollment program at a local university. One of the classes i’m taking is microeconomics and i’m planning on taking macro next year. I’ve always said that my interest lies in business, not economics, but i’m really loving my class and am now starting to consider economics as a possible major. I’ve already applied to multipe schools with top business programs (UVA, UNC, USC, Penn, Penn State) but I want to consider possibly applying to schools with really strong economic programs.
Any advice as to what some of these schools may be (particularly in the south, along the east coast, or california)?
