<p>The best info to answer these questions is on Lafayette’s website:</p>
<p>[url=<a href=“http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/majors/economics.html]Economics[/url”>http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/majors/economics.html]Economics[/url</a>]</p>
<p>It has info on the concentrations within the Economics major, and what recent Econ grads are doing (job placement, grad school, etc).</p>
<p>S is concentrating in Political Economy-Public Policy, and International Econ. He’s minoring in Gov/Law with a focus on International. The only finance course he has taken was Public Finance, so I can’t really answer your question.</p>
<p>Don’t kid yourself - Lafayette is NOT a business school. It is a Liberal Arts College where you can concentrate in Economics, including finance. Read thru all the pages of the Economics Dept website and decide if it has enough of a business focus to satisfy you. </p>
<p>(Although as jyber’s link in post#2 points out, Laf’s kids seem to be holding their own against B-school kids
