Careers in PPE
PPE majors go on to a variety of careers and graduate schools after completion of their study here. Law school is a popular destination, and several of our students have gained admission to the top law schools across the nation. Many go on to graduate schools in other disciplines. Others have gone on to work in banking and finance, economic advsiing and management consulting. Still others choose to work in government or have joined the Peace Corps. A recent survey prepared by the Career Services office at Penn for lists the destinations of PPE graduating seniors. This survey is based on those who chose to participate in it, and so is not intended to be comprehensive.According to the recent surveys posted by Penn Career Services, PPE majors are amongst the top in terms of average salary after graduation
