    Impressions of a few programs - Syracuse, UC Irvine, USC

    I'm hoping that some TMians could share their impressions of a few programs that I've applied to but I haven't seen discussed much on the board.

    - Syracuse
    - UC Irvine
    - USC

    I'm interested in micro/public/urban economics.

    Where do these programs rank overall (30-50ish?)?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who's able to respond!

    USC: decent in microeconomic theory, IO, econometrics, financial economics.

    Syracuse: a Ph.D. program with a strong tilt towards public policy subjects such as public economics, international trade, labor economics, and urban economics.

    UCI: I don't know anything about it..

    They all rank somewhere between 35 and 55 according to US News.

    UCI has Jan Brueckner, who edits the Journal of Urban Economics. He would probably be the best person to work with there, given your interests.

    UCI seems to be ranked pretty high in political economy - - when i was there, it seemed like the department wanted to shift the focus to education and transportation, but I am not sure the have continud that route
    its a great area and helpful faculty, but as with any UC , lots of TAing

    good luck
