Managerial Economics Major
Economics provides students with an understanding of the environment in which all businesses operate. It also provides students with the economics tools, skills and intuition that aid in making sound business decisions, such as price and output determination, strategic planning, and forecasting.
The managerial economics major allows students to gain a solid foundation in economics and combine this knowledge with another business discipline by concentrating in that business discipline. The business core courses provide students with an introduction to all business areas. Managerial economics majors can deepen their understanding of a business area that is provided by the business core by concentrating in that area.
The ability to select a business concentration area within the major gives managerial economics majors the flexibility to tailor their major to meet their individual interests and needs. Students choosing to pursue a traditional business economics major can do so by selecting the Economic Analysis Concentration, which requires them to take all eight of their major courses in economics. Students who would like to combine economics with another business discipline, however, are given the opportunity to select from seven other business disciplines. These students take five of their major courses in economics and three in their concentration area. Students can further customize their major through their selection of electives from a wide variety of offerings in both economics and their concentration area.
