At its core, economics is the study of how individuals, groups, and nations manage and use scarce resources. Students who attend this camp will not only gain the knowledge needed to better understand complex economic markets, but they will also come away with stronger analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the business acumen necessary to succeed in the professional world.
students have a wide choice of curricula with a mixture of business and non-business courses focusing on how individuals, businesses and government make decisions, how markets work, and how economic forces affect market outcomes and social systems. The program is designated as STEM, which signified the analytical rigor of the curriculum. It equips students with requisite knowledge in economic modeling, econometric methods, and computational skills to create, analyze and interpret large-scale data initiatives. The breadth and flexibility of the major allows students to tailor the program to their career goals in business, finance, healthcare administration, law, politics, foreign affairs, government and more. Economics is among the top 15 majors with highest lifetime earnings (Hamilton Project, Payscale). An economics major also provides a strong foundation for further graduate study. It is especially attractive for those who are considering an MBA or law school.
