About the course

　　Some possible careers- To be hired as an economist a graduate degree (MA or probably a PhD) is required. However, the excellent quantitative and analytical skills economics majors acquire make them highly competitive in the banking, finance, insurance, data analysis, and marketing industries as well as in the public sector. Economics is a good major for students planning to enter a bachelors or graduate program in economics, management, law, finance, political science, international relations, planning or environmental studies and many others.
