Most of our graduates work in the private sector (in areas such as banking, consulting, marketing, or financial services) once they complete their degree. A significant number of our graduates work in the public sector. Some of these students have gone on to graduate programs in public policy, while others work directly after completing their bachelors’ degree. This type of employment ranges from banking (the Federal Reserve system), to anti-trust investigations, to welfare reform implementation.
What careers are open to those graduating with economics degrees? See below for employers of our alumni, or check out these recent listings of entry level, internships and other jobs. Federal and State Government are also possibilities. Here are some data on salaries.
A number of our graduating students have completed graduate programs either in economics (Ph.D. or Masters), or in public policy (M.A.), or have gone on to law schools and M.B.A. programs. Here are some examples of their employers:
