Economics

Students in economics have held a wide variety of co-op positions. Often, students seek co-op jobs that will enhance their preparation for a particular business career. For example, one graduate who was interested in the transportation industry gained an extraordinary range of experience by working for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and Conrail while at Drexel.

The study of economics prepares students for a variety of fields: research economists in banks, government and universities; law; economic development for local government, banks and firms; business management and consulting; government and international agencies, such as the CIA, World Bank, IMF and USAID; and business and economic journalism.

Many Drexel economics graduates continue their studies in law school, MBA programs, or master’s and Ph.D. programs in economics. They have attended such graduate schools as the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University,Washington State University, and the University of Wisconsin.
