Overview

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga will help you build the foundation you need to look at issues such as poverty, inequality, unemployment, and production needs from a logical and analytical angle.

Economics is the study of how people, firms, and governments make choices to best use scarce resources and respond to incentives. It often involves topics like wealth and finance, but it's not all about money.

Key Features

The Economics degree offers students a broader education along with their major. Students are required to take a variety of liberal art subjects such as humanities, literature, history, social sciences, communications, and a foreign language. Students who choose a BA in Economics will not take the common core classes within the Rollins College of Business.
