This program addresses issues related to decision making with scarce resources, the history, organization, and direction of firms, industries, national, and international economies, and the structure and functions of social and economic institutions. The methods of economic analysis relate to public and private organizations. Economic analysis is widely applied to real world problems. Economics majors learn how to think critically about complex problems and how to analyze quantitative data. Because economic analysis is clear and precise, the major is attractive to job recruiters and graduate school advisors. An economics major is one of the best choices for students who wish to pursue careers in law, management, finance, public service, public administration, business, government, and teaching. Economics is an excellent choice for students who want to obtain advanced degrees in business. The most prestigious Master?s of Business Administration (MBA) programs prefer economics majors to business majors and other programs view economics as equally attractive. Economics is increasingly a popular undergraduate prelaw major. Several graduate schools in the United States offer programs leading to advanced degrees in both law and economics. As part of a liberal education, economics helps students understand how information is gathered, analyzed, interpreted, and used for policy and managerial decision making.
