The Economics Concentration in the Bachelor of Science in Business has been discontinued and is no longer accepting new students.
Why Study Economics?
Economics analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services鈥� interactions at the core of societal function and global relationships. Economics are not only fundamental to governmental structure at every level, they are applicable to human behavior and interaction within communities. Studying economics will prepare you to ask big questions at both macro- and micro-economic levels, and apply the answers to jobs in business, nonprofit, government, politics, international development, and other fields.
