Political Economy- Tulane has one of the top ranked programs in the nation for Political Economy. It’s got its base in a number of different facets: Political Science, Economics, Business, International Development and Relations, History, Philosophy, and Mathematics. The major is challenging but rewarding, and is, as you can see, quite interdisciplinary. It’s also got lots of great internship and research opportunities associated with it. It’s all run through the Murphy Institute of Political Economy here at Tulane. You can check it out at http://www.murphy.tulane.edu/home/. The institute creates some great leaders who have gone on to great jobs and graduate schools.

Business School- Tulane has a top-50 ranked undergraduate business program. It offers majors in Finance, Accounting, Managing Human and Social Capital, Consumer Behavior and Marketing, Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Business Law a few other programs. The A.B. Freeman School of Business is well known for its numerous undergraduate research and internship programs such as the nationally recognized Burkenroad Reports, http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/burkenroad/, where undergraduates plan financial books and investment reports in local businesses, The Darwin Fenner Fund, http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/news/081706_fenner_fund.htm where undergraduates manage a large amount of the universities endowment (over $1 million!) and a number of other great programs. As a Freeman graduate, I felt I got a great, well rounded education that was broad reaching and prepared me quite well for the real world after college.
