Overview

How do businesses, governments, and people make sound—or risky—economic decisions? What are the factors, motivations, and contexts underlying those choices? In the economics major at Fordham, we explore economic theory—and a lot more—to find answers to these questions.

The Economics programme from Fordham University consists of an analytical core with area studies in international, development, monetary, financial, and public-sector economics. Because economic systems don’t occur in a vacuum, we turn to history, political science, philosophy, and mathematics to deepen our understanding. You will develop a clear and concise approach to critically assessing a wide range of issues.
