Overview
Concentrate in Economics
Economic forces rule the world around us. Our complex economic system influences consumers, workers, businesses and governments. It permeates all aspects of our lives and choices we make.
Economists study those choices. They explain why economic situations occur, how markets work and how government policy influences the economy. By enhancing your skills with economics, you'll discover the many career options available to you.
Economics graduates might pursue investment banking or work as an actuary, budget analyst or trade specialist. A concentration in economics also serves as a firm foundation for graduate studies in business, public administration or international studies. It is also one of the best pre-law options for students.
