Two separate majors are offered in the Economics and Finance Program, one in economics and one in finance. The curriculum for both requires a combination of economics, finance, accounting, and business courses. These majors prepare students for a wide variety of careers in business and government, and can also serve as springboards for graduate studies in economics, finance, law, business administration, public policy, education, and many other disciplines. After completing the business common core requirements, each major offers distinct advanced courses: the economics major emphasizes advanced microeconomics, macroeconomics, labor theory, and research and statistical methods, while the finance major incorporates accounting, investments, and research and statistical methods. The department also offers minors in economics and in finance designed to meet unique career objectives.
