Although that list isn’t specifically for econ, I’m sure econ majors get good placement too.

Some MMSS kids are internationals who will go back to their home countries after college, while others will go on to grad school. There are only about 50 MMSSers every year to begin with, and there are more than 17 companies on that list, so you should be fine.

I think you should do econ and IEMS if you want a Kellogg cert. Some of the IEMS courses can be used to satisfy the prereqs for managerial analytics. (http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate/prospective/finance/prerequisites.htm)

I think it ultimately comes down to how you perform in your major. There will be superstars and slackers in both econ and MMSS, and it’s the superstars that get hired.
