BA-ECON - Economics (BA) (51 units)

Economics is the study of expanding human needs and wants in an environment of increasingly elaborate economies, production processes, intricate technologies, more refined skills, and greater trade. Combining this with a world of ever increasing constrained resources, the study of economics incorporates philosophies and moral precepts that more properly define the wants and desires of individuals, business and the global community to both better compete and collaborate for the common good. In sum, an Economics major will prepare students for decision-making in work and life by incorporating the analytical process of modern economic thought in the pursuit of maximizing value.
