Overview

What You Will Do

Historically, economists tracked and studied global and national macroeconomic trends — recessions, currency exchange rates — either to help a business better position itself for long run success or to help large financial institutions and government agencies intervene appropriately during challenges and crises.

In the data age, as the pace of both business and behavioral change quickens, economists focus on smaller trends across shorter time frames.

Do supply chain efficiencies improve a hybrid car maker’s profits?
Will changes in insurance rules and procedures impact health care labor markets?
Are default rates lower for consumers who secure a mortgage through an on-line app?
What causes someone to begin to book online travel, but then procrastinate?

While tech giants like Google, Facebook and Amazon capture most of the attention, as an economist you might work in teams using data to innovate across a range of settings: law firms, government agencies, national and regional banks, or non-profits.

Economics draws on important liberal arts frameworks — history, philosophy, mathematics — to address questions in diverse topics in business ( e.g. tax rates) and in such non-traditional areas as:

marriage and child-rearing
criminal behavior
social justice and discrimination

sustainability and ethics

What You will Learn

The Bachelor of Science in Economics curriculum will challenge you to understand more detailed topics:

microeconomic and macroeconomic theory
market failure
domestic and global economic diversity
economic dimensions of individual, firm, and social problems

Your knowledge and experience will underpin an ability to use an economic way of thinking to identify solutions to problems that are unfamiliar. That’s why a major in Economics at John Carroll University provides a comprehensive background valuable in many academic and professional fields. Law and business graduate programs see economics as strong preparation because of its logical, ordered approach to problem solving.
