Overview

Key Principles

Principles like inflation can explain major changes, and we need economists to apply them. It’s no secret that we’re facing a crisis in our national economy. You know who’s looking to hire people like you? Presidents. Heads of state. Leaders who need to know what to do to save the wallets of not just one business but of a community or a nation.

Economics is not just about money and interest rates. The tools of economic analysis have been used to predict flu outbreaks and catch cheating sumo wrestlers, and can even help you get into law school.

The Economics major at Loyola University New Orleans examines the actions and choices made in order to manage society's scarce resources. Emphasis in our program is placed on understanding how markets coordinate the actions and interactions of people in their various roles as individual consumers or producers, and as members of social, cultural, political, or economic organizations.

The Economics major is designed to provide students with:

A fundamental understanding of economic processes;
An ability to communicate and critically analyze economic issues;
Tools for functioning as intelligent, productive business leaders and responsible, informed members of society.

Our Economics students go on to careers in economic and political analysis, publish peer-reviewed journal articles with our faculty, and have been sought after by many top graduate programs in economics.
