Economics explores how individuals and businesses make choices regarding limited resources and analyzes overall economic systems. Professionals in this field investigate factors like energy prices, inflation, interest rates, trade patterns, and job markets to track and predict financial developments. The AACSB-approved 120-credit degree programs incorporate 15-24 economics credits within their core business studies. Graduates with economics degrees typically pursue careers in six primary sectors: public policy, marketing, personnel management, banking, financial services, or investments.
