ECONOMICS (B.S.B.)
Chair: May
Faculty: Agee, Dearmon, Moini, Seals, Shandiz, Willner
Program Description:
An economics major offers many professional opportunities
in business and government. Economic analysis is
regularly applied to many different real-world issues. One
is not limited with an economics major. The analytical
training emphasized is also valuable as preparation for
graduate study in business, law, and many other disciplines.
Economics provides the basic understanding of much of the
business world. Typical employment after graduation is in
insurance, securities, and banking industries. Other areas
of employment where analytic skills are a priority are also
common employment opportunities.
Math, as a second field, is necessary for a graduate degree
in economics and highly recommended for graduate study
in finance. For those planning to attend law school, economics
is one of the most useful majors. See an economics
or finance faculty member for more information.
