Economics

All academic areas in the College of Business draw heavily from the social science of Economics. It provides the basic knowledge needed for most jobs in industry or non-profit organizations. Specific careers include, but are not limited to, economic forecasting, statistical analysis, and research design. Economics also provides a solid base for graduate schools in the social sciences, business, government, and law.
