Economics & Management

Economics & Management

Economics provides valuable insight into contemporary issues that shape our society, such as income inequality, growth, poverty, environmental regulation, trade and policy. From decision makers in government to those at the helm of business and community organizations, leaders with an understanding of economics and management excel in our rapidly changing, interconnected world.

Learn to think critically and analytically; evaluate problems using theoretical models and empirical techniques; and develop effective written arguments. With intellectually engaging classes and co-curricular opportunities focused on addressing real-life challenges, you will discover the value of economics in understanding – and improving – the world around us.
