Bachelor of Arts
The curriculum of the Department of Economics is a blend of basic economic concepts and their application to contemporary issues. Courses are designed to develop the student's reasoning capacity and analytical ability. By focusing on areas of application, students are challenged to use economic principles in stimulating their powers of interpretation, synthesis, and understanding. Through the Department's individual counseling efforts, majors are encouraged to tailor the course of study to their career and personal enrichment goals. A major in economics prepares the student for graduate or professional schools. It also provides a good background for the business world while maintaining the objectives of a liberal arts education.
