| As an economics major at Alfred University you will study economic problems, theories, and policies within the context of the liberal arts educational tradition. Two major options are offered to meet your needs: the General Option stresses the breadth and depth of economic thought, while the Business Option focuses on professional applications of economics. The Business Option also provides most prerequisite courses for graduate MBA programs. Economics majors are encouraged to take advantage of the various minors in business administration subjects open to Liberal Arts and Sciences students.
Study in economics can lead you to careers in both the private and public sectors. Our graduates work in management, banking, and law, in government, and as teachers. The economics major provides an excellent foundation for graduate study in law, public policy, foreign affairs, and business.
A Washington Semester in economic policy is available to economics majors through The American University in Washington, D.C. The semester includes intensive study of economic policy issues as well as seminars with government economists and other officials. |
