Program Description
Economics is the study of human behavior. A lot of human behavior takes place in a business context, which makes it a great business discipline. However, most behavior takes place outside of a business context. This is what makes economics such a versatile major, students aren't just learning about business, they are learning how the world around them works.
The world is changing rapidly. Economics majors are better able to adapt to a changing world because they have great problem solving and critical thinking skills. A study by LinkedIn found that young people tend to change jobs more often than their parents did, about four times in the first decade out of college. Economics majors are well-suited for the ever-evolving job market.
