Download Major Information
Economic problems center on the allocation of scarce resources to provide goods and services for society. The major program in Economics is to provide students with the analytical tools, problem solving ability, and insight necessary to address such fundamental questions. Students are trained to analyze business and financial conditions, wage and tax policies and international trade, and to understand theories explaining causes of unemployment and inflation.

This sample plan is one possible layout for course work. Courses do not have to be taken in this exact order, but it should be noted that many courses have prerequisites that will affect the order in which the sequence of courses must be taken. Although this sample program is satisfactory for many students, we strongly urge that you talk to your advisor about your plans for the future. For example, if you plan further study in economics, law, or business, this program may not meet your needs.
Students must also meet the overall business and departmental grade point averages as required for specific programs.
