• A career path in fields including but not limited to finance, marketing, accounting, consulting, public policy, nonprofits

Why should women pursue a degree in economics?
In the Class of 2019 at Trinity College, only 26% of graduating economics majors were female. We want to close the gender gap in our program here at Trinity, by encouraging women to study a discipline that will unlock so many career opportunities. Diversity in the classroom leads to better discussion, varying perspectives and better preparation for the workplace. Trinity College Economics Department
