What will you learn in the program?

Economics majors develop technical and analytical skills needed for policy oriented decisions in local and global markets, often based on analysis of fundamental resource allocations issues. Economists work in a broad range of areas including business strategy (should we expand into a new market?), societal policies (what is the best way to fight environmental pollution?), and global issues (what rules should govern trade among nations? or how is trade affected by elimination of tariffs and quotas?). Students actively participate in small projects, such as data analysis and forecasting, intended to provide them with hands-on experience in managerial decision making. View the Academic Learning Compact (PDF) to see the Student Learning Outcomes for the Economics undergraduate degree program organized under five domains: Content, Critical Thinking, Communication, Integrity / Values, and Project Management.
