NYU Economics versus Fordham Business?

Hi all,

I really don't know where to post this and I'm almost positive someone will get mad at me for putting it here, but I figured others may be willing to give me some solid advice.

Just to jump right into it, I am currently a sophomore at Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business. I have pretty decent stats as of right now, so I wanted to see if I could transfer; however, I am not entirely sure how helpful it would even be.

My most realistic option (and desired) would be NYU's lib arts economics program since Stern wouldn't look my way for a second. However, almost all of my mentors/professors have said that they can't imagine a degree from NYU lib arts being worth more than a business degree from Fordham.

Main point: if you had the chance, would you transfer from Fordham's GSB to NYU's liberal arts economics program?

Thank you all! Have a good day.
