Economics As A Major/Minor
Economics is offered as a specific major or
minor and as a concentration under the general major in social
science. Courses in economics are taught by a faculty with diverse
specializations and applied experience. A core study of the
component (microeconomic) and aggregative (macroeconomic)
phenomena of the economy provides background for courses in
specialized areas.
Economics students may take advantage of study
abroad programs and internships.
