Business Economics
The Business Economics major gives students a solid understanding of today’s global business environment and market structure. It combines in-depth study of economic theory with business applications within an ethical framework. The program enables students to understand market forces and their interplay with government policies and business decisions. It emphasizes the application of economic concepts and the use of critical thinking to resolve economic and managerial problems. Students acquire the analytical and problem-solving skills needed to investigate and critically evaluate economic trends and business conditions. They learn to interpret current issues confronting society (e.g., deficits, inflation, unemployment, poverty) as well as individuals (e.g., wages, cost of living, taxes). The curriculum is designed to enable students to succeed in business and government careers, graduate schools, and law schools as well as to become better-informed and productive citizens.
