Major: Business Economics

The Business Economics major provides the foundation and develops the critical thinking necessary to solve complex economic problems. Business Economics applies economic theories and statistical techniques to the study of business administration and analyzes the decision-making processes of organizations. This major examines the environmental, financial, market-related and organizational aspects encountered by organizations in domestic and international markets. Business Economics also studies the role of governments, central banks, and global economic institutions in the economy, and analyzes the individual and social effects of public policies.

A Business Economics major can lead to careers in business, banking, and government. Business Economics graduates play a crucial role in the strategy and policy formation of private firms and public organizations.
