Overview

The department offers courses in economic theory as well as quantitative analytical training. The students will not only gain conceptual understanding of economic issues, but also empirical problem solving skills that can be applied to a variety of fields including international, monetary, financial economics, labor, development, as well as behavioral economics.

Key Features

Economics is the study of ways in which individuals, groups, and nations choose to allocate scarce resources to produce, exchange, and consume goods and services. Poverty, unemployment, climate change, violent conflict, inflation and inequality are pressing issues in our world.

The economics curriculum helps students understand the basic theories that explain some of these problems and provides students with some of the tools needed to begin to answer questions related to these challenges. They also examine the various ways to address these issues and the role of government.

In addition to the traditional economics major, students who plan graduate study in economics are encouraged to take additional courses in mathematics or consider the mathematics-economics major.

Careers

With the hands-on, experiential learning inherent in the economics major, you will acquire a well-rounded skill set that prepares you for professional work, or further study.

The Economics major at Agnes Scott College will prepare you for a career in business or non-profit fields by providing a thorough background in economic theory and applications. Some of our students choose go on to graduate programs in economics or public policy while others go to law school. Some return to school to get an MBA after working for few years.
