Emory University Academics had a new discussion posted by XiaofanLiang

If I'm not major economic, can I still apply for the Washingtong Policy Semester?

No but they usually choose economics/business majors

Do anyone who take IDS major offer some details about it? Is it great? What combination of courses do you plan to take?

IDS would be great but the College recently cut it.

Bryn Mawr College had a new discussion posted by XiaofanLiang

Compared with Bryn Mawr,what courses or majors do Haverford or Swarthmore take advantages in? If I want to study Sociology, Economics or Psychology, which collge, includes Upenn, can provide the best program?

I'm an Economics major, and I recently took a Econ class at Haverford this past semester. I'd say that between Bryn Mawr and Haverford, there's no "better" Econ program; it just depends on what aspect of Economics you want to study. Haverford has more courses on finance and banking, while Bryn Mawr's is more general with academia and research. I can't say anything about Swat or UPenn.

As for Psychology, both Haverford and Bryn Mawr have excellent departments but they each have a different focus. I was told that Bryn Mawr's has an emphasis on Clinical and Developmental Psychology. Not sure about Haverford, though.

Do any programs,organizations or student clubs in Emory support entrepreneurship or encourage student startsup?

I don't know of specific organizations, but the business school certainly encourages brilliant minds to get together and do such things. One of my friends just launched a start-up called Posterfuse. Here's a link: http://www.usatodayeducate.com/staging/index.php/ccp/students-innovate-in-visual-culture-with-instagram#.ULKbbNHiAtY.facebook

Do this school have an online program or just campus

If I want to study Economics or Sociology in Emory, will it be a good choice? Are there any programs that support these two majors? I want some specific answear, such as the name of the program.

Sociology is a huge major at Emory. I have many friends that are sociology majors; plenty of majors and plenty of classes. Economics is the second largest major currently (I am an Econ/Bio double major)and has great professors. The problem is the Econ PhD program is eliminated by a ridiculous Dean (Dean Foreman) that most students despise. Banerjee, one of the greatest professors in the world, is fighting along with students and faculty to get the econ PhD back though.

There is a Economics Department at Emory and it is very rigorous
