Which University is better for studies in Austrian School Economics: George Mason University or New York University. And also which is better for Undergraduate studies, or a Masters Degree, or a PhD. Any other University suggestions are fine it's just from what I've read and heard these two seem to be the best for studies in Austrian School Economics. Thank You!

Still, I would rather have a keynesian or neoclassical instructor. It  is good to know mainstream economics so that you can easily identify its flaws.

You will NOT be able to (solely) study Austrian Economics at the collegiate level. I am unaware of such a program. However, you can study economics and take some classes that are taught by Austrian professors.

If you want the richest experience of Austrian economics then I would recommend Walsh College (best school for Austrian economics in my opinion) or Hillsdale College. For some reason Michigan is becoming a forefront of Austrianism at the collegiate level.

WTF?!? Are you serious? I go to Wayne State just a few miles away... IS Walsh really a big Austrian school? If it is, I'll be putting in my papers for transfer soon...
