<p>I'm a student who is looking to transfer soon, I currently go to GWU. I'm an Economics major and I'm interested in going into Finance or Consulting. I know these are pretty competitive areas and that Madison is not necessarily a "target" and I know the best advice is networking with alumni, joining Investment club, & keeping high grades but as a whole does anyone have any information on what the general job placement is like coming out after graduation? Do a good amount of grads have job offers before graduation? This is speaking generally not just for Finance or Consulting.</p>
<p>The finance major is in the School of Business which has an excellent Business Career Center to assist students with internship and full-time job placement.</p>
<p>Economics is a major in the College of Letters & Science. I am less familiar with placement help in L&S but there are career fairs each semester too.</p>
<p>‘Buckynet’ is the online job search utility for students and alumni to upload resumes, search for opportunites, apply for jobs, and schedule interviews.</p>
<p>Econ majors have a small office of their own. I know they have contacts with some of the IBanks and such. The take placement related trips to Chicago. Also access to L&S career services. </p>
