Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Course Description

Have you noticed that in today's world there is not enough of everything to go around? Economics is the social science that tries to understand how we use our scarce resources to provide us with the goods and services we need and want. It looks at the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Students learn the basics of economics and the legal and philosophical implications of buying, selling, borrowing, lending, producing, consuming and more. Our program consists of a set of core courses in economic theory and statistics, plus electives of the student's choice. Both macroeconomics (the study of a national economy) and microeconomics (the study of individual markets) comprise a body of consistent theory. The specific contents of our macroeconomic and microeconomic courses are prescribed by professional standards and are consistent with such courses offered at other colleges and universities across this country. Field courses, such as labor or monetary economics, illustrate applications of theories taught in our macroeconomic and microeconomic courses.
