The major in Economics provides rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative methods. Students develop analytical and critical-thinking skills, and are well trained for careers in policy analysis, business, or for future graduate study.

This program also provides strong preparation for students pursuing a graduate degree in economics or a related field.
