[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. Likely behavioral economics plus finance and a business route in the US which included b-school. [/quote]

From W&M own website: The Economics Department at St Andrews has particular strengths in the areas of dynamic macroeconomics, finance, household economics, climate change, and competition and innovation.
The Department of Economics at William & Mary has particular strengths in the area of health, experimental and international economics.

Macro and Finance - go to Sta. Please note at Sta DC can add a 2nd Joint Honours if he wants that could be complementary or interesting to explore.
You really cant go wrong with either. Has DC toured both schools? I highly recommend it. There is something to be said about fit. You cant look at all the quantitave variables you want. But if DC doesnt “feel it” when on campus, it doesnt matter.

For direct placement in the US, say NYC, it is always easier if your are in US. No argument here. But it is not like your DC would be excluded from recruiting process because he is at Sta. For Business School (im assuming you mean MBA) back in the US, his grades + GMAT + experience will matter more. I personally believe that assuming grades are equivalent (UG + GMAT) that the application from a Sta graduate with a 2-3 yrs working in the UK/EU to a top MBA program is much more unique than a W&M grad, working in the US for 2-3 yrs applying to the same school…[/quote]
