CO-OP & CAREER GUIDES
ECONOMICS
Economics is the study of allocating scarce resources
among competing needs. Drexel's economics
concentration is designed for two groups of students:
those who wish to prepare for advanced degrees in the
field, and those who want a sound business education
with a focus on economics. The program places
particular emphasis on the application of theory toward
the solution of particular problems in such areas as
international trade, money and finance, consumer
activities, economic development, and other areas.
Although housed in the LeBow College of Business, the
economics major is a free-standing major with different
requirements in the liberal arts and sciences and a
deeper, more complete coverage of economics than any
other curriculum. Students majoring in economics benefit
from complementary studies in one or more areas,
depending on their interests and long-term plans.
Economics graduates are employed in private industry
and by many government agencies. A significant number
of students go on to do graduate work in law as well as
economics.
