<p>I heard only 30 students graduate annually with degrees in economics from case but placement has been impressive:</p>

<p>-Grad/Professional school
Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, U Chicago, Duke, Georgetown</p>

<p>Employment:
Investment banking: JP Morgan
Consulting: McKinsey&Co, ATKearney</p>

<p>Not to mention faculty with PHDs from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Duke, Wharton, JHU.</p>

<p>These Statistics seem very impressive but do they mean anything? How is the program, it dosen't seem to get any attention on the rankings?</p>

<p>thanks for any replies,</p>

<p>obviously NO one knows bout this program, it's a small school and an even smaller department (economics)...</p>

<p>It's part of Wheatherhead, does anyone have any accounts of grad/proffesional placement from there?</p>

<p>thanks...if I get any replies this time, lol</p>

<p>I am also interested in the reputation and quality of the economics department at Case.
Can anyone comment with updated information newer than this 2005 post? Thanks.</p>
