Bachelor of Science:
Economics
Effective Fall 2011

The interaction and interdependence between nations, communities, and individuals creates opportunities and challenges. Economics, as a fully developed social science with robust quantitative techniques, has evolved to straddle social science, business, and public policy. As such, it has tremendous abilities to help in allocating scarce resources among competing and legitimate options in the business, and public domain. Graduates with an Economics degree are in high demand of many sectors of the economy. They are also uniquely qualified to pursue graduate studies.
