Economics examines how societies allocate scarce resources. This field explores the processes of creating, trading, and using goods and services. It investigates how various entities - from local communities to global organizations - establish policies to meet specific objectives. The curriculum covers both domestic and international economic indicators, tracking the movement of products and services across borders and within nations. Students learn to apply economic principles to decision-making at personal, organizational, and governmental levels, primarily through specialized coursework. As a quantitative discipline, economics relies on statistical methods to evaluate theories about human behavior. The Economics BA program allows students to develop business knowledge without the intensive specialization required in business economics degrees.
