<p>I am considering duke, gtown, nyu stern,and mich ross. As you can see i am interested in the business field. Is duke economics a good precursor to business, and if so should I choose Duke over the other schools? Also does it offer internship opportunities in the business field?</p>
<p>P.S. I like the Duke campus the most.</p>
<p>Duke's econ is a very good precursor to the business world, as is our public policy major. Our econ majors are heavily recruited by investment banks, consulting firms, etc. A great number of our students will go into the business world, as opportunities are in no way lacking.</p>
<p>And yes, internships are plentiful. Employers will come to campus to recruit us for internships, and the process is very straightforward, though a bit intense. Econ majors who don't have internships are a rarity, so much so that classes during your senior year will open up with, "Let's have everybody tell their name, their hometown, and their internship this summer."</p>

What do you mean the process is "a bit intense."</p>
<p>Just that kids tend to stress out. It's often their first time going through interviews of this sort.</p>
