Course Details

Economics BA

Course Description

Our program gives you a balanced curriculum of liberal arts, general business, and industry management skills because each area has its own perspective. While you’re developing an appreciation for each point of view, you’ll also learn the powerful analytical and technical skills economists are famous for. And because nothing replaces first-hand experience, we reinforce your classroom learning through a wealth of experiential learning and professional enrichment opportunities. Our economics students select one of three concentrations: General Economics, Behavioral Economics, or Economic Sustainability. General Economics gives you a more overall view and lets you choose a mix of courses from the other two concentrations. In Behavioral Economics, you’ll focus more specifically, with courses in Game Theory, Behavioral Economics, and Decision Making Under Uncertainty. The Economic Sustainability concentration zeroes in on Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, Sustainable Development, and Public Finance or Economic Development.
