majors/minors
Graduating economics majors are expected to understand the operation of a market economy and to be able to evaluate the fundamental issues affecting the U.S. economy. These issues include balance of trade, economic growth, the environment, welfare reform, government expenditures and taxation policies, and unemployment. Internships, while not required, are strongly recommended. A student considering the economics major is strongly advised to take ECON 101, ECON 102, MATH 123, and MATH 205 in her first year. ECON 201 and ECON 202 should be completed by the end of the second year. Potential majors and minors (first- and second year students) are advised to consult with economics professors when selecting classes.
