Testimonals:

“When I first attend the University of Delaware I started out as a Civil Engineer and it was quite interesting, but I
always wanted that background in business coming in to college. I finally met with one of the advisors in the
Leaner College of Business and she recommended me to take some courses in the economics department. After a
semester of econ heavy course work I started to gain a lot of interest in it and it felt as though it was right up my
ally. After a year I deicide to switch over to the business department, and now seeking to graduate with a major in
B.S of Economics
