Online Bachelor's in Economics
Open doors by unlocking your potential.
Decision-making in the ever-changing world of supply and demand is at the foundation of the field of Economics. Conclusions are made based on the efficiency and distributional outcomes of markets and public policy. These skills are critical for an Economics major so our program emphasizes the development of skills in analytical and critical thinking, quantitative and statistical proficiency, and economic literacy and knowledge. Students learn marginal thinking, acquisition and analysis of data, and the structure and function of economic systems.
The skillset is highly portable and makes graduates competitive for any position requiring analytical skill. Students have pursued careers in business, academia and government.
