Economics

This program will officially come to a close by spring of 2026. Explore CAPS’s exciting, new undergraduate offerings, including the reimagined Integrated Studies undergraduate degree programs.

Economics is an excellent course of study to pursue because it contributes to a broad liberal arts education. It can help students to develop superior problem-solving skills, whether they are in the work force or considering graduate work in business, law, engineering or the social sciences.

The economics major will familiarize students with the problems of a modern economy and the tools of analysis developed by economists. It emphasizes both the development of analytic models and their application to such real-world problems as inflation, unemployment, taxation, poverty, pollution, government decision making and regulation.
