College Choice Ranking: Bachelor's in EconomicsThe Georgia Tech School of Economics ranks fourth in a new nationwide survey of best economics degree programs conducted by College Choice.
College Choice noted that economics is currently a very popular major with a track record of producing some of the highest salaries upon graduation of any undergraduate major. Although many economics majors go on to pursue graduate studies, the College Choice survey focused on undergraduate economic majors with a job after graduation in view. The list takes two factors into consideration: cost of attendance and salary upon graduation. According to PayScale, the average starting salary for Georgia Tech graduates is $60,700.
