<p>Could anyone tell me how the economics program is at Bowdoin? Do many go on to grad schools and if so where? Also any info about recruiters? Thanks</p>
<p>It is one of the largest departments at the school.</p>
<p>Many go on to top grad schools. Lots of people go to Wall St.</p>
<p>The have a small section on their site about preparing for grad school:</p>

<p>Recruitment comes from many top firms. I was planning on grad school but the CPC (Bowdoin Career Center) and pretty forward recruiting from a firm made me go there instead. I know 2 other bowdoin grads from my year at the firm where I work.</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>congratulations, Oliver..I remember you helping prospective students when my first son visited Bowdoin in 05...and always appreciate seeing you here. Glad to see you landed in a super first job! (Bowdoin students are especially approachable, chill, and still ambitious was our impression)</p>
