<p>How is Drew's econ department compared to other schools. Atm i am accepted to American, Ursinus, Drew, and St. Mary's. Any comparisons, opinions or experiences that will help me choose the best school for an econ major.</p>
<p>If it helps, St Mary's gave my 8,000 in grant money, Ursinus gave me 26,000, Drew gave me 17,000, and American gave me loans.</p>
<p>Also, how does Drew do in getting kids into PhD programs and business schools.</p>

<p>I don't have anything to offer about the Econ major per se. But one of the things that is really great about Drew is it's location. There are a ton of corporate headquarters in that part of NJ with corresponding internship possibilities. Likewise, it's just a 45 minute train ride into Manhattan for internships and job opportunities. Finally, an econ major might be especially interested in the Wall St semester, the UN semester, and/or the European semester based in Brussels. In addition, several of the short-term Drew International Seminars (DIS's) have had a strong economic theme.</p>
<p>American would also be great in terms of location and opportunities for an econ major, but it would be incredibly expensive with no aid.</p>
<p>The package offered by Ursinus is generous, but I don't know much about the school.</p>
