Economics is a general program, flexible enough to allow for a variety of student objectives. The BA program has over 21 units of open electives. These elective units give students the flexibility to supplement the thinking skills developed in economics with technical skills developed in such fields as finance, marketing, and public relations. A bachelor degree in economics serves as an excellent springboard to an MBA or law degree.

Forget about career titles--they tell you nothing about the tasks you will do each day. We strongly recommend that you put your attention on acquiring the durable and �lexible human capital skills of outstanding Communication (oral and written), Calculation (statistical analysis) and Critical thinking. When you OWN these three human capital skills (think of them as equipment) you get the CONFIDENCE to pursue any career.
