Overview

Is an economics degree worth it? Yes, because it gives you the opportunity to make a lasting impact on society. Rockhurst University’s Economics major does this by exploring the intersection of law and economics, preparing students to analyze and formulate policy, and setting them up for success in any number of dynamic jobs in the growing economics field.

This is done not by simply studying theories, but by examining the living context of different government administrations, geopolitical events and business cycles. Our economics degree students graduate ready to propose effective, integrated solutions that can change the world.

Rockhurst economics faculty work closely with students to tailor coursework toward their intended career.
