The Wall Street Semester, offered annually in the spring, gives students a thorough introduction to financial markets and institutions. Students spend two days per week in New York City, attending presentations and discussions by prominent executives, government officials, institutional shareholders, economists, and other members of the financial community, and participating in a course offered by the program director, a member of the Drew faculty. It offers students a solid background in the relationship of Wall Street to the rest of the economy, centering on finance but also including macroeconomic, historical, and ethical dimensions. Two semesters of introductory economics are required prerequisites or corequisites for participation in the Wall Street Semester, which is open to students majoring in any discipline. Each spring semester, students may travel to Washington, D.C., to participate in Drew's Washington Semester.
Students live in conveniently located prearranged apartments.
