The B.S. Degree program in Economics provides rigorous training
in economic analysis. All students are exposed to applications
of economic techniques used in the public sector, the private sector
and the international business environments. Through the study
of standard economic models, students learn to identify, explain
and describe the major features and functions of an economy. Successfully
completing the major will enable students to analyze, synthesize
and evaluate economic, social and business issues.
Consistent with the mission of the University and the School of
Business, the Economics Program seeks to (1) provide majors and
non-majors high-quality economics courses that will prepare them
for admission to graduate programs in Economics and related areas,
or entry to professional employment, (2) enhance students' knowledge
on the structure and operation of the U.S. market-economy in which
they will work, and (3) raise the level of awareness and ability
of all students to understand the importance of economic issues,
including fiscal and monetary policies.
The Economics Program may be taken with a minor in Information
Systems and/or Entrepreneurship.
