COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Arts in Economics major provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how economic systems function and how decisions are made at individual, organizational, and governmental levels. The program begins with foundational courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics, offering insight into consumer behavior, market dynamics, and national economic performance. As students progress, they develop analytical and quantitative skills through mathematical economics, econometrics, and intermediate theory courses that explore market structures, policy implications, and global economic trends. Advanced options, including courses like Microeconomic Theory, Macroeconomic Theory, and Economic Analysis: A Capstone Seminar, allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical and contemporary issues. The program emphasizes the ability to interpret data, analyze complex problems, and communicate economic reasoning effectively. With flexibility to pursue secondary majors or minors in related disciplines, students can tailor their education to match personal interests and career goals. Graduates are well-prepared for roles in business, finance, government, research, and consulting, or for further studies in economics, public policy, or law. The degree’s blend of theoretical grounding and practical application equips students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to address real-world economic challenges and contribute meaningfully in both public and private sectors.
