Business Economics Major​

Do cycles, forecasting, risk analysis and economic theory excite you? Analytical skills happen to be in very high demand—and very lucrative—especially in the finance world. As a business economics major, you can prepare for a thrilling career as an analyst in investment banking, government or even public policy.

As you deepen your understanding of how management and government policies such as taxes, subsidies, tariffs and quotas affect economic growth and unemployment, you will also study a variety of business topics like organizational behavior and business law. And you will learn all of this from faculty who have worked in every area of business, from the Federal Reserve to multinational corporations.

To further enhance your learning, we offer courses like Business Cycles and Forecasting, where you will work with other students to collect real-world business and economic data to create forecasting models. We have seen students predict the future path of stock prices, new home construction and even craft beer sales. Learn more about our business economics major through our Twitter feed and LinkedIn group, or the Econ Council website.
