The Economics Track within the Business Administration major sharpens students’ skills for analyzing business and social problems by studying consumer and producer behavior in a variety of economic settings.  The Economics Track prepares students for a variety of careers in the government or business sectors and for job opportunities in economic consulting and research.  Corporate jobs concerned with practical applications of economic policy and economic forecasting are also routinely available.  The Economics Track is available in the traditional (fact-to-face) classroom setting and in the on-line mode of delivery.
