USF or SFSU for economics major?

Question

Deciding whether to go to USF (University of San Francisco) or SFSU (San Francisco State University) for their undergraduate economics program. Two possible plans are to go to SFSU for my undergrad and then USF for my graduate studies or just go to USF for my undergraduate and not trip about going to graduate school.

Which school is better in the long run and more flashy on a resume? I already know how to network with peers. $$$ is a small problem so I just gotta find out which ones a better investment.

Thanks!

Plz no dumb and uneducated answers.

Answer 1

I would definitely choose USF, but if dollars are a consideration and you are concerned with the quality of the degree, then I suggest going to a community college and transferring to Berkeley if you can gain admission.

CCSF is included in UCLA's Transfer Alliance Program so that is another possibility.

Every other UC will give a transfer guarantee with a 3.0 JC GPA:

A full time student at a community college can take one course per semester up to two courses per year at a nearby UC or CSU campus through cross enrollment paying JC rates. A library card and use of rec facilities are also usually available to community college students at a greatly reduced fee per semester.

US News undergrad rankings do not consider the quality of the faculty, but at UC's the same faculty that teach graduate classes generally also teach undergraduate classes, therefore their grad school rankings are a better measure of the quality of a particular academic department:

Here is an alternative international ranking that does consider the quality of the faculty. It is interesting to note that outside the USA all the world's great universities are public.
