Hey peeps! Given I'm seriously considering Economics as my major, I've been looking into different schools and their programs. UT Austin has come up a few times for me. Does anyone have any idea about how it's ranked nationally or globally? Would love to know more about this, thanks!
Hello! UT Austin is generally well-regarded for its economics program. According to U.S. News & World Report, the undergraduate economics program at UT Austin is currently ranked #22 in the United States. Business Insider also ranks it #24 globally. Please note that rankings fluctuate yearly based on methodologies used by the ranking bodies, so you can also consider other factors like faculty, course offerings, alumni network, etc. Additionally, being in Austin can provide a number of internship and job opportunities in the growing tech and startup scene there, which could be a useful complement to your Economics degree. I hope this helps!
