Stagflation. Bear market. Hedging. Liquidity. Capital goods. These are some of the terms you’ll come across in your studies as an Economics major. 

Economics explores how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. As a social science, this field covers more than just numbers. It has a stake in every field that involves people: business, medicine, law, technology, and psychology, to name a few. You’ll examine how the decision-making process is impacted when resources are limited. Economists are interested in the individual and societal effects of income disparities, trade, employment, depression, and recession.

As a major in this fascinating, complex field, you’ll study historical trends, interpret news headlines, and make economic forecasts.
