Business Career Path

<< Back to Career Paths

Many Economics graduates find jobs in the business world, working in banks, large corporations, small businesses, non-profit organizations, and in many other kinds of positions. Your first step in a business career may be an internship after your junior year. During your senior year you will be searching for jobs and interviewing with businesses interested in hiring you. After gaining a few years of work experience, many business professionals continue their education in a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, either full-time or part-time.
