You’re only making use of the factors leading to UCSD’s high graduate ranking if you’re getting involved in research with faculty and/or taking doctoral seminars. UCSD is known for our Econometrics branch and that’s pretty much it.

Lecturing abilities are subpar by most professors in the department; the classes/rigor is way too easy unless you supplement it with more math courses or graduate courses; and the degree doesn’t seem to mean much by SD employers (internships/work experience means much more to them, and friends graduating with an Economics degree with none are still looking for jobs).
