offer选择 Lehigh VS Drexel Ph.D in Econ?

Appreciate your dream and wish you fulfill it soon.

Ha! My research interests are flexible.

money is not an issue here.

i searched for the placement record of Drexel's business program,

"Our graduates have obtained faculty positions at a number of top universities such as: Michigan State University, George Washington University, North Carolina State University, University of Delaware, Villanova University, and Lehigh University."

looks fine for Drexel, but I doubt that it is indicative of the econ major. I think Lehigh is better known in econ than Drexel, which is rarely ranked.

If you do not consider academic jobs, Drexel might stand out a little bit for its location... Honestly I know almost nothing about either-- just a wild guess.
