经济学

经济学 provides a primary basis for decisions at the national, 行业, individual 业务 and consumer levels. 经济学家s analyze how 企业 and households make decisions, 自由市场如何运作, and how a national economy functions and prospers. Based on theory and empirical evidence, economics prescribes solutions to societal problems such as unemployment, 通货膨胀, 污染与犯罪. 经济学 students learn to think analytically and develop models to understand the consequences of decision making. Analytical and problem-solving skills learned in the economic context could be applied to other areas.

There are three distinct degrees in 经济学 available to students:

  • 商业经济学学士.S. (主要)

    A 业务 degree where students will be exposed to multiple 业务 areas. This allows a student to major in an 经济学 major but still have a strong 业务 background. The BS in 业务 经济学 is excellent for students who are strong in quantitative courses and are considering an MBA program after graduation.

Providing valuable understanding of the concepts and applications of economics, a minor in this field provides students with a flexible and marketable minor. Combined with a 业务 major – or major in another field – an economics minor gives the graduate an additional advantage in the marketplace. A minor in economics can also provide recognition to the student who does not want a major in economics but who has taken several courses in the area.
