<p>i'm an international student and im currently deciding between a top business school in my home country and Wesleyan. I want to have an i-banking career in the future, and i wanna ask if there's any i-banks which recruits wesleyan students on campus? (for both summer interns and jobs) how competitive is wesleyan's econ program and how's wes' ability of sending students to top business schools like wharton, stanford, etc?</p>
<p>JPMorgan and Lehman Bros definitely recruit at Wesleyan. </p>
<p>Wesleyan has one of the top (if not THE top) small college economics dept in the country, as this profile of Prof. John Bonin testifies:

<p>According to the Career Resource Center (CRC), five Wesleyan professors (Bonin, Lovell, Moore, Rayack and Miller) have taught full or part-time in business programs at seven different institutions including Yale, MIT, and Carnegie-Mellon; they offer business oriented economics courses at Wesleyan that are similar to MBA-level courses. </p>
<p>Also, according to the CRC, there are Wesleyan graduates currently enrolled at the following institutions:</p>
<pre><code>* Columbia University
* Harvard University
* Kellogg School of Business (Northwestern)
* Sloan School of Management (M.I.T.)
* Stanford University
* Stern School of Business (NYU)
* St. John's University

<p>then is wesleyan a so-called 'target school'? how easy is it for wes students to get summer internship in investment firms?</p>
