Best Colleges for Managerial Economics

INTRODUCTION

If you think life as a corporate economist, behavioral economist, or organizational economist sounds interesting, then a degree in managerial economics may just be for you. You could even become the boss of the most profitable store!

POPULARITY

Managerial economics is the 76th most popular degree in America, with 5,948 students receiving their bachelors degree last year. It just beat out #77 Industrial Engineering, and narrowly lost to #75 Logistics, Materials, and Supply Chain Management.

The degree is offered at a total of 258 colleges across the nation, and is the 86th most widely offered degree. It is only offered at 15% of the Top 100 Best Colleges in America.

It is also worth noting that more or less 4/7ths of colleges offering managerial economics are public making it a pretty accessible field.

The southeast produces the most managerial economics graduates, largely led by The University of Alabama, while it’s the Big West Conference that leads conference totals. As far as states, California ranks highest, with particular help from University of California-Irvine and University of California-Los Angeles.

All that being said, no individual school produces more managerial economics graduates than Northwestern University, which graduated 666 students last year alone. Although size is critical, another important factor to consider is the program’s density (the percent of all students that study managerial economics). More students studied managerial economics as a percentage of total students at Hampden-Sydney College than any other college.
