Economics Masters Programs in Chicago area?

[tk149]

Does anyone out there know anything about Master Programs in Economics in Chicago?

What schools offer them, what requirements, financial aid, whatever.

I've dug up info for Roosevelt and DePaul so far, but I was wondering what else is out there.

Edit:
I forgot to say I already looked at U Chicago. Yeah, I know it's super-prestigious, but I was aiming for 2nd or 3rd tier or 4th tier schools. I'm not really sure how high she wants to aim for.

Northwestern doesn't really seem to offer a Masters, only a PhD.

if you friend are really good, University of Chicago is the best school for economics in the world. my teacher couldn't get in with 3.92 GPA from Uni of Toronto and 99 percentile for GRE.

Yeah, with the Univ of Chicago that doesn't surprise me. If I had the GPA I'd give my left nut to attend the law school there.

UChicago of course, but since you had to ask, you might not even want to apply there.

I'm sorry, I just found your question funny.

Its a bit like asking "Does anyone know of any good MBA programs near West Philadelphia?" or "Are there any good computer engineering schools near Cambridge, Massachusetts?" lol!

Too funny!

Bump for more suggestions.

Check out DePaul or Loyola for 2nd tier. Possibly UIC. But UIC or Roosevelt aren't really that respected schools.
