The Economic Analysis Program prepares students for a variety of careers by learning
how to analyze regulations, business decisions, and government policy. Students
have a well-rounded experience with quantitative data and market analysis tools. Courses
in economics lead to an understanding of business, politics, markets and the global
economy.
You’ll learn to gather, organize, and interpret data. You will develop models to
forecast the impacts of business and policy decisions. Communication skills are required
to translate complex findings for business and policy professionals. Economic principles
can be applied across disciplinary boundaries to generate innovative and integrative
solutions.
In addition to the Economics Core, students complete non-economics courses from one
of four interdisciplinary areas: analytical and quantitative, behavior, history of
thought, or policy. A second major or minor is required.
