The Department of Economics is committed to providing courses which will enable students to gain a greater comprehension of the principles and problems of modern economic life so that they may participate as intelligent and informed citizens and to offer a major which will enhance their preparation for future careers. After graduation many Economics majors pursue graduate degrees in fields such as economics, business, law, health administration and public policy. Other Econ graduates proceed to employment opportunities in the private, governmental and non-profit sectors of the economy. In preparation for either employment or graduate studies, Economics majors often select second majors or minors in other departments and curricula in the University.
