[duke ma econ vs col ma stat]

eteshoe, thank you for response.

By this epithet I mean a top 10-15 PhD program. But, apparently, for a start upon graduation I'm planning to seek employment, preferably in ibanking.

[duke ma econ vs col ma stat]

I have to decide between these two programs:

Duke MA Economics

Columbia MA Statistics

I happen to be indifferent location and tuitionwise. So, please advise from the perspective of 1) job placement; 2) possibility of acceptance to a decent Phd Economics.

Thanks in advance
