| Program Description | Economics applies the concepts and methodologies of the natural sciences and mathematics to problems in business, the social sciences and the humanities. Rapid changes in technology and globalization, have brought major changes in the government and the business world. Today's hot specialized degree often are becoming tomorrow's target for downsizing. Companies that were relatively unchallenged in the domestic market in the past have suffered as a result of global competition. As a result, it is not uncommon for individuals to make several career changes during their lives. Therefore, experts in career development recommend that one seriously consider a flexible degree such as economics. Economics is a discipline in which you learn a unique way of thinking and helps to develop strong analytical skills. This unique way of thinking is a primary reason that economics is also a flexible degree. Economic concepts are often applied to a number of different areas that would, at first, seem totally unrelated to economics. However, the concepts of economics are critical to finding solutions to economic problems and also in a wide variety of areas. Department of Economics provides internship opportunities to its qualified students in which they can earn 3 credit hours. |
