经济学文学士

经济学通常被定义为“对生活中的人们的研究。”对我们所有人来说，生活涉及处理一系列无休止的选择和问题。经济学提供了一种令人信服的方法，可以批判性地考虑人们参与决策的任何问题，无论是影响整个国家的政府政策还是影响最小的个人问题。无论讨论是针对不平等和失业问题，还是与环境，体育，医疗保健和歧视等话题相关的话题，经济学提供的工具都使您能够分析问题并提出见解。经济系的任务是创造一个环境，在这里您可以培养通识博雅传统的现代经济学家所期望的技能和见解，并且可以促进以技术手段促进教学，研究和服务的互动丰富的环境。
Consider a degree in economics if you are an avid follower of national and international news or are passionate about the business and finance sectors. While at first glance economics may seem to be all about money, it is fundamentally a people-focused subject. Economics provides a compelling way to think critically about any issue where people are involved in making decisions, whether it's government policies that affect the entire country or the smallest personal issue. Regardless of whether the discussion deals with inequality and unemployment, or topics like the environment, sports, health care, and discrimination, the tools provided by economics gives you the ability to analyze the issue and put forth an informed opinion. The mission of the Department of Economics is to create an environment where you develop the skills and insights expected of a modern economist educated in the liberal arts tradition, and where an interaction is fostered that promotes teaching, research, and service, all in a technologically-rich environment.
