Business Economics Program: The major in economics provides an excellent
background for a wide variety of careers in business and government. In addition to
acceptance into 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. (For the major in economics leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degree, see page 122.)
