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.

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.

Also, how does Drew do in getting kids into PhD programs and business schools.

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.

American would also be great in terms of location and opportunities for an econ major, but it would be incredibly expensive with no aid.

The package offered by Ursinus is generous, but I don't know much about the school.
