Economics - Managerial Economics

A student can earn either a B.S. or a B.A. degree in Economics. The major offers students the flexibility to select a set of courses that simultaneously satisfy the requirements of the major while focusing on a specific area, such as business or pre-law. The curriculum is highlighted by a senior project required of Economics majors that gives each student an opportunity to work with an individual faculty member on a research project selected by the student.

Managerial Economics goes beyond the limits of traditional economics and business majors, blending a thorough grounding in economic theory with business knowledge and applications. Students in the Managerial Economics sequence receive in-depth training in economics and quantitative methods, problem-solving strategies, critical thinking, and effective communication skills. The requirement of 47 hours allows the flexibility to consider a second major or minor as a way to expand your career possibilities and distinguish yourself from your peers.
