Economics is the study of how scarce resources are mobilized to meet the
economic goals of individuals, businesses, organizations, governments
and societies. The study of Economics is typically divided into two parts:
macroeconomics (or aggregate economic analysis) studies economics
from a broad-based perspective, including problems and issues such as
unemployment, inflation and economic growth; microeconomics studies
economics in terms of individual components, including problems and issues
such as product pricing, competition, regulation and international trade.
Students of Economics can expect to become familiar with key economic
concepts and laws which give them an analytical perspective that is unique to
this discipline, but is of great importance to individuals and to society.

B.A. with Major in Economics
The major in Economics 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.
