Overview

The Arts and Sciences major in Economics offers students a strong liberal-arts background and at the same time a thorough grounding in the most quantitative of the social sciences. Its major requirements parallel those of the Kania School of Management’s Economics major, while its cognate provides background in the social sciences. The major in Economics equips students with the training and background needed to assume responsible, decision-making positions in the financial sector, industries and government service. It is especially appropriate for students intending graduate studies in Economics or careers in law.
