The mission of the Department of Economics and International Business is to support the College of Business Administration by developing and implementing educational programs that provide the opportunity for students to acquire the skills necessary to be informed, thoughtful, and productive citizens capable of evaluating issues critically; allowing them to develop successful careers; and providing interested students with the background necessary to pursue advanced studies in business and related fields.
This mission requires a commitment from the faculty to aspire to excellence in instruction, research, and service. To fulfill this mission, the faculty of the department has established meaningful and challenging goals and supporting strategies and methods to assess the attainment of these goals.
The Economics program is intended for students seeking a logical, ordered way of looking at various business problems. The principles, approaches, and conclusions derived from the study of economics form the basis for developing sound policies in business, government, and personal life decisions. The study of economics is an effective way to prepare for several types of careers, including management training programs in corporations and financial institutions of all sizes; federal, state, and local government employment in administrative and staff positions dealing with analysis, planning, and control functions; analyst positions on corporate staffs; and graduate education in law, business, public administration, urban studies, and economics.
The International Business program is designed for students preparing for positions with business, government, or international agencies dealing with international trade and foreign investments. As a result of the growing importance of international trade in the world economy, domestic and multinational corporations will face a growing need for employees with specialized training in matters relating to international trade. The study of international business is an effective way to prepare for several types of careers, including management training programs in domestic and multinational corporations; federal, state, and international agency employment in administrative and staff positions dealing with analysis, planning, and control functions; and graduate education in law, business, public administration, and economics.
