Economics and Management

We aim to help you find the resources best-suited to your more effective understanding and analysis of the economic questions of today and tomorrow. We emphasize an interdisciplinary and international context that encourages you to examine the social, the national, and the global, from the perspectives of multiple disciplines, so that you are prepared to face your future academic and professional career with a more reflective and ethical comprehension of present-day economics. Our classes are designed to provide you with the maximum flexibility to pursue your interests. Our many students who double-major have chosen to consider Economics via subjects as diverse as Politics and Comparative Literature. We also play an integral role in the teaching of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major. As you can see, the ways in which you can tackle this area of study are nearly endless.

Many companies now extend their reach across national and international borders, and the growing need for effective management and problem-solving skills that can easily cross borders is one that our department works to address with all of its classes. Strengthen your knowledge of business concepts and their application and practice your leadership skills with the International Business Administration major; apply economics to financial and non-financial institutions and markets with the International Finance major; learn the basics of small business management with the Entrepreneurship major; develop the fundamentals of managing local or global organizations both private and non-profit with the Management major; or explore the role of consumer relations and the impact of market dynamics with the Marketing major. No matter what you choose, our programs will help you thrive in today’s globalized business and financial environment.
