About the course
In an increasingly interconnected world, where commerce, employment, banking, investing, currencies and trade affect everyone, an education in economics is more important than ever. Economists grapple with some of the most pressing issues facing society, including globalization and standards of living in the developing world, the impact of public policy on the economy and the balance between environmental goals and economic growth. The 120-credit Bachelor of Arts degree program in Economics is a comprehensive examination of the economies of the United States and the world, led by distinguished professors with backgrounds in a diverse range of economics disciplines.
Graduates of the B.A. in Economics can aspire to careers as policy analysts working for banks, corporations, and governments, aid workers helping poor countries improve their economies, and diplomats specializing in the relationship between industry and government, among others.
Small classes, faculty with expertise in diverse areas, and a comprehensive examination of the economies of the United States and the world provide students with excellent career preparation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
