[quote=Anonymous]From Econ perspective: Both econ departments are strong but Penn will lean more to having business macro teachers/classes and Duke will likely be more balance and will have more micro applied public policy types. Penn Econ classes may be more business slanted and Duke is likely to be a bit more classical economics. Duke public policy is VERY strong. (edge over Penn) If you plan to grad school in Economics - either is fine as long as you take the math required to be prepared for a PhD program. But if you plan to go into public policy I'd go with Duke (even if you plan to do public policy via an Econ PhD). Duke will be more in line with that route. You won't be fighting against the business econ tide. You'll probably also have a more colaborative academic community at Duke from both professors and students. Penn is a competitive business culture. Duke is not (and neither is the public policy world).[/quote]
