College of Business and Economics
Student Learning Outcomes...
The analytical framework of economics promotes critical thinking skills valued by employers. Students are exposed to concepts that help them to understand consumer behavior and business decisions. Students learn how individual industries function and gain an understanding of how the market economy functions as a whole. The field of economics emphasizes that the behavior of individual decision makers (for example, consumers, firms, government agencies) adjusts in response to changes in their incentives. With this framework, students learn to evaluate how changes in technology, government regulation, and market circumstances will impact their own lives, the industries and organizations of which they are a part, and society. The Economics program demands strong quantitative and communication skills.
