The study of economics equips students for careers in the private and/or public sectors. The Economics (B.S.) and Economics (B.A.) majors prepare students for graduate study. Economics courses prepare students to develop concepts, skills, and knowledge necessary for understanding management, marketing, social science disciplines, sociopolitical events, and behavioral patterns in the world.
