Economics explores human decision-making processes. Specifically, it examines how we can interpret the world through the lens of incentives that different economic actors encounter. The discipline combines theoretical frameworks and data analysis to investigate how individuals make choices. These analytical approaches play a vital role in guiding policy formulation. Our program equips students with robust quantitative abilities, preparing them for diverse careers including consulting, healthcare, banking, finance, pharmaceuticals, and real estate, as well as opportunities in non-profit and government organizations. Many graduates pursue advanced degrees in law, business, economics, or public policy.
Economics graduates typically enjoy significant earning potential. The Wall Street Journal's "Degrees That Pay You Back" report indicates that economics majors achieve the highest mid-career median salaries among all non-engineering disciplines.
