Description
Economics can be defined as the study of how people allocate scarce resources among competing ends. It can also be understood as a particular way of thinking distinguished by its axioms, concepts and organizing principles. In terms of both subject matter and methods, economics provides important and powerful insights into the human experience. Completion of the major can serve as preparation for graduate study, or it can provide a strong background for any one of a large number of careers, including those in business, finance, law, health care and government.
