Oh man.

Don’t get me started on Econ

the UR’s Econ department is ranked 3rd in publications per faculty, 10th in effectiveness of PhD program, 4th in Citations per faculty.

If that isn’t impressive enough, one professor I really have enjoyed is Professor Landsburg who if you wikipedia him you’ll get some intesting stuff about him. Plus he has a book coming out called “More sex is safer sex, and other surprises.” His lectures are interesting, they push your unerstanding of economics.

and trust me, AP macroecon was taught horribly wrong after what I’ve learned in Macro. If you remember “putting money under your bed is bad for the market becuase you don’t spend it.” It’s a lie! A misperception of the logic of Economics.

Haha, it’s a lot of fun, it’s really interseting, and you can take courses at the graduate school as electives without any real problem. They offer quite a few business courses through Simon.

Hope that helps. contact me if you have more questions.
