Courses of Study
The undergraduate economics major within the College of Arts and Letters is designed to make a unique contribution to the student’s liberal education. The program provides students with the insights of scientific analysis and social perspective to deepen their understanding of the complex economic forces at work in society. Such an understanding is an essential ingredient in the intellectual development of an educated person.
The major, which offers an honors program option, is designed to prepare student sfor a variety of professional objectives including careers in public service and law as well as managerial positions in business and industry.
Starting in fall 2012, students in the College of Arts and Letters can also pursue a major in international economics. To prepare students for careers in global business, nonprofits, or government, this curriculum combines rigorous coursework in the economics with advanced training in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, or Spanish language and culture through the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. The major's course of study exemplifies the College of Arts and Letters’ cross-disciplinary approach to nurturing the development of business leaders and global citizens who have both the analytical and cultural skills needed to navigate today’s interconnected world economy.
The department also collaborates with partners across campus to offer a number of minors.
