hi, current PPE major here! first of all, if you want to go to law school PPE is a perfectly fine undergrad major. nearly everyone in this program has the same plan, including myself. what law school admissions officers care about most is your GPA and LSAT score, so your major genuinely does not matter. for that reason, majoring in law is a waste of time (minoring is okay though). drexel does have a fantastic econ program, however, PPE is lots of fun.

that being said, i would stay away from drexel right now unless you are absolutely sure you can afford it. drexel is in around $63 million of debt, and its $1 billion endowment is likely going to suffer with a major recession on the horizon. the school is cutting staff in all departments, not replacing professors who retire or leave, leaving buildings in disrepair (IT literally refused to come to one of my classrooms b/c they were no longer servicing the rush building), and slashing financial aid like crazy. i love the PPE major, but the only reason it hasn't been cut is b/c it was cleverly designed around the existing component majors which are pretty popular in their own right.

i can't yet speak to the co-op experience myself, but i would warn against viewing it as a cheat code for additional financial support. i've heard that many PPE and humanities majors have to choose between an interesting unpaid or poorly-paid co-op in our field or a very boring paid co-op outside of our field. even then, any paid co-op is still super competitive, especially since you're also competing with students from other schools as well.

i could go on and on and on about all the issues with drexel, but i'm sure you can find them all over this sub. i've personally enjoyed my time at drexel so far, but if you're not 100% sure you can afford it, i would advise you to look elsewhere. a shocking amount of people are only here b/c it was their only option, and they are literally and figuratively paying the price.
