Career Opportunities
The economics program prepares students for careers in both the public (government or education) and private (Goodyear or IBM,
for example) sectors. Kent graduates have taken positions in banking and insurance as managers, analysts, and sales associates. In
addition, economics graduates find positions in industrial sales and management, as analysts for government agencies, and as managers
and sales representatives in retail trade establishments. Undergraduate economics majors are also well prepared to pursue graduate
work in economics -- they may want to pursue a Master of Arts (MA) in Economics or an MBA. Furthermore, a major in economics is
excellent preparation for law school. For students with an interest in international opportunities, the Economics major is a good
program to consider.
