If we assume that the graduate program rankings are a good measure of how good the undergraduate math programs are, then the top 5, according to U.S. News & World Report, are: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harvard University Princeton University Stanford University University of California, Berkeley In applied math, the rankings are: New York University Massachusetts Institute of Technology California Institute of Technology The U.S. News and World Report summary math ranking is here, and more universities are ranked in their Premium edition. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/phdsci/brief/mat_brief.php There are many excellent math programs besides the ones I have listed here. Most well-known, well respected universities tend to have strong programs in matrhematics because it is core to their programs in the sciences, engineering and economics.

Lets see.... 1 Massachusetts Inst of Technology 2 Stanford University 3 University of California-Berkeley 4 California Institute Technology 5 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 6 Georgia Institute of Technology 7 University of Michigan 8 Cornell University 9 Carnegie Mellon University 10 University of Texas at Austin These are the top universitys in the states India has a college named IIT its pretty good

PhDs.org is a free site that kinda answers that question. This link will help you start your search. The problem is they dont break it down by consentrations. The good thing is its free. There are other good lists out there but they http://www.phds.org/rankings/economics/... If your planning on getting a Ph.D. in Economics you will need to have a STRONG background in math. What is the highest math you took? Most respectable Ph.D. programs in econ will require you to have at least advanced calc, linear algebra, and some math structures (proofs or whatnot). Some programs also like courses in stats. If you don't have these math classes I doubt you will be able to get into any program without deficiencies, if your accepted at all. How were your grades in College? Did you take any college level competency exams like the GMAT and whatnot? Have you done any research, thesis for honors, apprenticeships, or internships? That will also have an impact on your admittance. Here is a gimped list of good colleges plz use the phds.org link above to find out what is more important to you.

Meteorology is actually a formal major of its own, so that is what you would take. :) You should therefore be looking for a college/university that offers a meteorology major. The American Meteorology Society maintains this list of all colleges/universities that offer undergraduate meteorology or atmospheric science programs: - Arizona State University - Ball State University - Boise State University - California Institute of Technology - California University of Pennsylvania - Central Michigan University - College of Charleston - Colorado State University - Columbia University - Cornell University - Creighton University - Dalhousie University - Drexel University - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Florida Institute of Technology - Florida International University - Florida State University - George Mason University/COLA - Georgia Institute of Technology - Hampton University - Harvard University - Hawaii Pacific University - Humboldt State University - Indiana University - Iowa State University - Jackson State University - Johns Hopkins University - Kean University - Louisiana State University - Lyndon State College - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - McGill University - Metropolitan State College of Denver - Michigan State University - Millersville University of Pennsylvania - Mississippi State University - New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology - New York University - North Carolina State University - Northern Illinois University - Northland College - Ohio State University - Ohio University - Old Dominion University - Pennsylvania State University - Plymouth State University - Princeton University - Purdue University - Rice University - Rutgers University - Salisbury University - San Francisco State University - San Jose State University - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology - St. Louis University - St.Cloud State University - Stanford University - State University of New York at Brockport - State University of New York at Oneonta - State University of New York at Oswego - State University of New York, Maritime College - Stony Brook University, State University of New York - Texas A&M University - Texas Tech University - United States Air Force Academy - United States Naval Academy - Universidad Metropolitana - University at Albany, State University of New York - University of Alabama in Huntsville - University of Alaska Fairbanks - University of Alberta - University of British Columbia - University of California, Berkeley - University of California, Davis - University of California, Irvine - University of California, Los Angeles - University of Chicago - University of Colorado at Boulder - University of Connecticut - University of Denver - University of Georgia - University of Guelph - University of Hawai'i at Manoa - University of Houston - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - University of Iowa - University of Kansas - University of Louisiana at Monroe - University of Massachusetts at Lowell - University of Miami - University of Michigan - University of Minnesota - University of Missouri-Columbia - University of Missouri-Rolla - University of Nebraska-Lincoln - University of Nevada, Reno - University of New Hampshire - University of North Carolina at Charlotte - University of North Carolina, Asheville - University of North Dakota - University of Northern Colorado - University of Oklahoma - University of Saskatchewan - University of South Alabama - University of Texas at Austin - University of the Incarnate Word - University of Toronto - University of Utah - University of Virginia - University of Washington - University of Wisconsin-Madison - University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee - University of Wyoming - Utah State University - Valparaiso University - Vanderbilt University - Washington State University - Western Connecticut State University - Western Illinois University - Yale University - York University Keep in mind that most jobs in meteorology require advanced studies at the graduate level, so plan to have fun with your studies for a while!
