Economics, General
Problem analysis and sound decision-making
are at the heart of economics. Students majoring in Economics will be
well-equipped to meet the professional challenges of the twenty-first century
because they will have gained valuable skills such as applying a general
analysis framework to solve real-world problems. In addition, the ability to
conduct mathematical and statistical analysis, work with data to address
specific issues, and communicate effectively, both in written and oral form. An
Economics major might culminate in either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor
of Arts. When declaring this primary, students have the option of specializing
in a field like business or pre-law while still fulfilling the requirements of
the major. In addition, each student in the Economics major will have the
option to engage closely with a specific professor on a research project of
their choosing as part of the major's capstone senior project. Finally, suppose
you want to attract attention from the crowd and increase your employment
prospects. In that case, you can use the flexibility afforded by the 33-hour
requirement to pursue a second major or minor.
