Description
The BA major in economics offers a broad introduction to the field, encompassing the history of economic thought, and the core elements of contemporary economic theory and research methods. Through the selection of elective courses, students can pursue specific interests in various areas of economics, including: (a) economic theory; (b) economic history; (c) economic development and areas studies; (d) human resources; (e) international economics; (f) public sector economics; and (g) quantitative analysis in economics. Thanks to the emphasis on the development of analytical skills and on imparting knowledge of contemporary economic issues and trends, the BA major in economics is an excellent stepping stone to either graduate programs in economics, law, business administration, and other social sciences, or a broad array of professional careers.
