• Economics builds scientific models to explain why people behave the way they do. And economists use these models, in conjunction with their observations of the world, to analyze and explain why things happen the way they do.
  • Economics is about solving problems. Even more, economics is about finding the truth, even if the truth may go counter to what students, and most people, may intuitively believe. From The Wealth of Nations to Freakonomics, the writings of economists have had a major impact on social thought and the decisions of policy makers.
  • Students majoring in Economics should have good analytical skills along with good writing skills. Economic graduates find employment in banking, finance, retail, government, planning, and forecasting. Also, Economics is a perfect preparation for Law School.
