The economics program is intended for students seeking a logical, ordered way of looking at various business and economic problems. By studying economics, you will learn principles, approaches, and conclusions that form the basis for developing sound policies in business, government, and personal life decisions.
A bachelor's degree in economics effectively prepares you for several types of careers, including management training programs in corporations and financial institutions; federal, state, and local government employment; or in a variety of occupations such as journalism, international relations, education, and the non-profit sector. It is also excellent preparation for graduate studies in economics, law, business, public administration, environmental studies, health care administration, labor relations, urban planning, diplomacy, and other fields.
