Economics students begin their first year of studies with courses that provide a foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics principles. In their second year, students will build on their foundation of economic principles and take two additional economics courses that will broaden their knowledge.
Students will be able to select from a number of theory and field courses. Third and fourth year courses will offer specialized topics to provide students with a broad understanding of the discipline.
Students can earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) - Double Minor by pairing a BA Minor in Economics with a BA Minor in such fields as Anthropology, Criminology, Creative Writing, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
Career Opportunities:
The BA Minor in Economics provides students with a solid understanding of economic principles as well as analytical and problem-solving skills. Training in Economics is an excellent foundation for students who wish to go on to complete advanced professional degrees such as law, community development, or business.
The study of Economics prepares students for careers in banking, financial advising and analysis, stock broking, journalism, real estate, insurance, international trade and diplomacy, teaching, and all levels of government careers.
