Duke offers an Economics degree with a Finance concentration which is a really powerful combination that should work wonders in the job market. Employers know that you get the analytical skills that come with studying in a top 10-15 Economics program as well as have applicable financial knowledge gained from relevant coursework.

Chicago’s economics program doesn’t mean zilch to WS employers. The stronger the alumni network in banking, the better the recruitment will be. Chicago only recently became more pre-professional so elite employers are more used to hiring out of Duke since the banks have assumed the students there and other schools like Dartmouth are more interested in the WS career path.
