Our program consists of core economic theory and statistics courses, plus electives.
Both macroeconomics (the study of a national economy) and microeconomics (the study
of individual markets) comprise a body of consistent theory. The specific contents
of our macroeconomic and microeconomic courses are prescribed by professional standards
and are consistent with similar courses offered at other colleges and universities
across this country. Field courses, such as labor or monetary economics, illustrate
applications of theories taught in our macroeconomic and microeconomic courses.
The major then learns statistical techniques to test these applications. The ability
to analyze economic data in consistent, precise and understandable terms gives our
majors an ideal background for many kinds of business, government, legal and academic
careers. Beyond the required courses, the choice of courses is intentionally wide
and numerous programs are possible. Each program is tailored to individual student
needs and career objectives.
See the required courses for the B.A. degree, Honors in Economics, and a Minor in Economics.
Moreover, the Department of Economics and the College or Arts and Letters also offer a new interdisciplinary major in Data Analytics. Please see Dr. Kevin Egan, the data analytics advisor to learn more.
