Department of
Economics & Finance
What is Economics?
The
major in economics provides an excellent background for
a wide variety of careers in business and government. In
addition to acceptance in their management training programs,
many businesses employ the economics major to forecast economic
trends and to relate changes in economic activity to the
individual business. Economists are employed by various
governmental bodies to conduct research into all phases
of the economy.
Our Mission is to offer students the analytical, quantitative,
and technological skills necessary to succeed in an increasingly
complex and globally-oriented world. We support this effort
through original contributions to our chosen fields and by
using our specialized skills to serve the University and the
public.
Economics & Finance offers several majors. In addition, the department
provides opportunities for students to receive credit for
various industry certifications. We offer the following degree
programs:
The courses in each
major have been carefully designed so as to incorporate
new knowledge in the various disciplines and to leave students
prepared to pursue a wide array of career choices. Our permanent
faculty consists of many well-qualified and dedicated teachers
and researchers.
