Economics is a field of social science that uses systematic analysis to explain how individuals, businesses, and governments reconcile their wants with available resources. During Duquesne's Bachelor of Arts program in economics, students explore human motivations and how competing priorities shape market dynamics. Whether examining individuals, organizations, or nations, economic training enables students to critically assess behavioral patterns and their consequences. Graduates develop skills for roles as research or financial analysts across private enterprises, consulting agencies, and government institutions. An economics degree also serves as strong preparation for advanced academic pursuits. The undergraduate program emphasizes statistical methods, historical economic contexts, behavioral sciences, and political-economic systems. Upper-level coursework includes econometrics classes demanding extensive research projects, while all majors can undertake a comprehensive thesis defense. Such scholarly work often leads to journal publications or conference presentations.
