Major in Economics

What will happen next in the economy? Financiers, politicians, and journalists all turn to economists for the answer. Here, students study how resources are allocated to maximize well-being, why prices fluctuate and where and how individuals make choices. For students, an economics degree opens up a variety of career options across various fields.
