The major in Economics is offered through the College of Arts and Sciences and provides a critical examination of how the economic system works in the United States and throughout the world. The introductory courses are surveys of economic problems, policies, and theory; the required courses in micro theory and macro theory give a deeper analytical foundation. Electives permit further study in a wide range of fields, including international trade and finance, public sector economics, economic development, economic history, capital theory and finance, labor economics, income distribution, political economy, financial markets, and public policy analysis. The major in Economics provides a general background that is useful to those planning careers in law, government service, or business, as well as those planning careers as professional economists. Professional economists work as college professors, as researchers for government agencies, in businesses and consulting firms, and as administrators and managers in a wide range of fields.
