Economics is the study of how society produces, exchanges, and consumes goods and services given limited resources. Economics examines public policies designed to achieve such national objectives as full employment, price stability and economic growth.

Many of the challenges facing the nation
and world today are either partially or wholly
economic in nature. As such, the curriculum of the
Economics major covers major social, political and
economic issues. In addition, Economic majors are
given a broad exposure to concepts, theories, analytical techniques and applications.

The Department of Economics and Finance also offers a Minor in Economics, and a Minor/Concentration in Finance.

For more information about the Economics & Finance Department, our major and minors, please contact us. We would like to talk to you about your future.
