The Department of
Economics offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees
in Economics. These degree programs provide a broad education
involving the domestic and international economy and include
the study of institutions, concepts, policy, and tools of analysis.
Our students prepare for careers in business, such as in banking,
financial markets, insurance, law, management, and consulting;
for careers in national, state, and local governments; in teaching;
and for graduate study in economics and related fields including
business administration, finance, public policy, and law.
The Department stresses flexibility in each
undergraduate program and requires a strong core of economic
theory, supplemented by mathematics, data analysis or statistics,
and computer science. Students in each of these degree programs
choose area electives within the department, as well as in the
College of Social Science and the University. All students are
encouraged to develop programs of study that are tailored to
their individual needs and interests.
