- Description
- This combined major educates students in economics and psychology and the interface between the two disciplines. Economics courses provide a foundation in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and applied econometrics. The scope and sequence of psychology courses provide students with a foundation in the interdisciplinary science of psychology, including such topics as cognition, decision making, learning, and motivation. Students completing this program of study should be able to understand how the two fields jointly contribute to explaining the complexity of human behavior in an economic context.
