Economics
Minor in the College of Liberal Arts
Economics can actually be defined a few different ways: it’s the study of scarcity, the study of how people use resources, or the study of decision-making.
Economics often involves topics like wealth, finance, recessions, and banking, leading to the misconception that economics is all about money and the stock market. Actually, it’s a much broader discipline that helps us understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines, and make predictions for coming decades. Economics is first and foremost a social science. It is a broad major in the social sciences and covers many areas of study that have applications in virtually every industry and institution.
