The Business Economics major is for students who want to understand decision-making and problem solving in the context of business and social environments. The major fosters an understanding of the objectives and functions of a private enterprise economy and applies these principles to business and social problems.
Economics provides a unified framework to think about choices in many contexts, the consequences of these choices, and the ability of leaders to implement them.
