Overview

With sharp analytical thinking and quantitative skills, you’ll have the background to become a financial analyst with the World Bank, a public policy specialist for a congressional representative, or a consultant for a multinational company. You’ll also become a standout candidate for law schools, which often require students to understand economic principles.

As a major in the Economics program of St. Edward's University, you’ll study markets, banking, business law and current economic issues like the environment and healthcare. Learn about consumer decision-making, business law, how pricing and wages are determined, and international trade.

Austin, one of the nation’s fastest growing cities and a tech hub, offers endless opportunities to network and try on roles in the professional world. You’ll have the chance to work with a professor on relevant research that benefits the community, like studies to determine the economic impact of the Austin Marathon, international tourism from Austin Sister Cities, and Latin entrepreneurship. And you’ll conduct financial analysis and track global market trends at internships with companies large and small, across all industries.
