AI Overview

Boston University’s Economics program is widely regarded as an elite, top-tier department, consistently ranking in the top 25–35 nationwide and in the top 50 globally. It is particularly recognized for its strong research output, frequently placing in the top 15 in global economic publication rankings (such as RePEc).BU’s Department of Economics excels in several key areas:

Elite Faculty: The department includes heavily cited scholars producing high-impact research.Research Centers: It is tightly integrated with the Institute for Economic Development (IED) and the Economics in Context Initiative (ECI), offering deep-dive focus areas.

Program Rankings: The graduate and master’s programs are exceptionally competitive, frequently placing among the top 10 nationwide in metrics like TFE Times.......

However, AOC was not in the most highly-regarded graduate/Master’s program. And her political ideology seems designed to negate most of what she may have learned in her economics classes.

It’s just plain stupid for a Western woman who is not visiting the islamic word to wear hijab! The muslim men did right to ignore her! American voters must also ignore her if she runs for President!
