ECONOMICS (B.S.B.)
Chair: May
Faculty: Alli, Haney, May, McCown, Moini, Shandiz, Shaw
Program Description:
An economics major offers a student 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.
