Economics

Studying economics enhances one's ability to reason about choices and the consequences of those choices. In a world in which resources are scarce, choices must be made at all levels-from individual consumers and firms, to society as a whole. Students learn about past and current events, and have the perspective to apply economic reasoning to future problems. They become thoughtful citizens who are well prepared for either advanced study or employment in the field.
