B.S. in Economics

USA

What will I learn?

The program emphasizes public economic policy, both domestic and international and supports students in the international affairs-economics program and the sustainability track in the ecology and environmental sciences program. Students have the opportunity to pursue the new 4 + 1 degree program which allows undergraduate students to accelerate their plans by beginning their graduate degree while still an undergrad. As an undergraduate student, individuals work closely with faculty members on a wide variety of research and outreach projects related to sustainability, business development, state and local policy, and renewable energy. The program emphasizes the development of analytical and critical thinking skills to solve real problems and courses such as quantitative analysis and forecasting, econometrics and applied economic data analysis provide students with highly relevant skills. Students learn how to critically analyze current business and policy issues in areas such as finance and banking, environmental economics, international trade and economic development. Graduates of the program work in fields such as finance and banking, health care, environmental and energy consulting, resource and small business management. Many of our undergrads pursue a graduate degree in economics, law or business.

The B.S. in Economics focuses on training students in economic analysis and the functioning of economic institutions through an emphasis on analytical and mathematical techniques. Program core emphasizes public economics policy from which students can branch into six concentrations. The goals of the program are to train students to think analytically and critically about social, environmental and business economic issues. Students gain a solid foundation in social science not only for further study and careers in economics, but also for careers in law, public service, business, and related fields.
