This curriculum is for students primarily interested in economics who also desire a broad background in business. It helps you understand how economic analysis informs decisions made by businesses and by consumers, how a market economy functions, and how governments determine economic policy. Economic analysis developed through the major is helpful in making independent, well-considered judgments.
Course work involves both required theory courses and electives. Theory courses provide common analytical background of modern economics and serve to build analytical skills. The generous number of electives allows you to pursue different fields, depending on your interests and educational background.
