A High-Quality Education

Career Paths A Broad Education Experiential Learning Opportunities

Economics is a social science and an important component of a well-rounded education. The major provides a useful background for students interested in careers in public policy, business or finance.

In collaboration with the School of Business Administration, required courses include microeconomics and macroeconomics, a senior seminar in applied economics and five additional economics electives. Supporting courses in calculus and statistics prepare you for the quantitative nature of economics.

Economics major Ryan Greensfelder joined 212 university students in the U.S. and abroad in the 2021-2022 cohort of Newman Civic Fellows. The fellowship is a yearlong program of Campus Compact, a Boston-based nonprofit that provides training and resources to nurture student assets and passions that help drive social change. Ryan believes his economic studies have paved the way for his success in receiving this fellowship.
