Economics is the study of how societies organize themselves to produce goods and services and to distribute those products among the members of society. The economics program is designed to introduce students to the tools of economic analysis and to show students how they can use those tools to analyze and better understand real-world situations.
Undergraduate training in economics is an excellent background for a variety of careers; these include banking and financial services, journalism, international business, public service, the diplomatic corps, entrepreneurial ventures, and government administration. An undergraduate major in economics is also excellent preparation for those interested in graduate work in law, business administration, and international relations.
By selecting economics electives from an approved list, a student majoring in economics can graduate with an option in financial and managerial economics, international and development economics, or public policy economics.
