Welcome to the Department of Economics
Economics equips students with the tools to understand how people, businesses, and governments make decisions and how those choices shape markets and society. Our major combines theory, data analysis, and real-world applications to prepare students for careers in business, finance, politics, public policy, and beyond, as well as for graduate study at top universities.
Undergraduate Programs
Major in Economics
Economics majors will learn why economies grow and the causes of business cycles. Also, understanding economics is useful for students interested in politics and public policy. Students will learn how taxes, subsidies and government regulation of business activity affect consumer welfare, job creation and prosperity.
Minor in Economics
The Economics minor presents concepts that support the understanding of consumer behavior and business decisions. Students learn how individual industries function and gain an understanding of how the market economy functions as a whole.
