Economics examines how societies distribute limited resources across competing needs and the impacts of these choices. This field explores diverse subjects including global commerce, financial systems at home and abroad, workforce dynamics, and emerging economies. Essentially, an economics degree aims to develop students' analytical thinking regarding societal challenges, offering strong preparation not just for advanced economics studies but also for careers in law, government, business, and similar sectors.
The Economics Department provides a standard economics track alongside five combined majors designed for students with varied interests and career aspirations. While each program has unique requirements, they all follow a similar framework: foundational theory courses leading to specialized electives and concluding with a capstone seminar. Students should thoroughly review each program's specifics and consult with department advisors to align their academic path with personal goals.
