Economics examines how people and communities allocate scarce resources to enhance well-being. As an economics student, you'll explore all elements influencing commercial expansion and individual financial decisions. This understanding enables you to analyze how external and internal factors shape markets, subsequently affecting enterprises.
In our interconnected world economy, analytical abilities and solution-oriented thinking have become increasingly vital. Economics delivers robust training in both areas. It reveals global systems while equipping you with competencies to thrive in modern markets. A degree from Foster College positions you for professional success.
Upon graduation, you'll have gained:
Career growth opportunities and connections through Economics Club, Omicron Delta Epsilon honors society, and groups like Women in Business.
Guidance from professors actively involved in regional economic initiatives.
Hands-on learning through diverse internships with organizations including Caterpillar, Greater Peoria Economic Development Council, Northern Trust, JUMP Simulation Center, ConAgra, and more.
A culminating research project where, mentored by faculty, you'll develop a substantive paper on a subject of personal interest.
