Economic problems center on the allocation of scarce resources to provide goods and services for society. The goal of the Economics program is to provide students with the analytical tools, problem solving ability and insight necessary to address such fundamental questions. Students are trained to analyze business and financial conditions, wage and tax policies and international trade, and to understand theories explaining causes of unemployment and inflation.

Students majoring in Economics may earn either a B.S. degree from the Farmer School of Business or a B.A. or B.S. degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. The same core Economics courses are taken by all three majors, and the choice between the three depends upon your academic interests and career goals.

• The Business major provides students with a strong background in the fundamental skills and knowledge of business.
• The B.A. in Arts and Sciences student receives a more traditional liberal education.
• The B.S. in Arts and Science - Quantitative Economics major, requires six additional hours of economics and twenty hours of related courses in mathematics, statistics, or decision sciences.
