DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Chair: Richard M. Alston Location: Wattis Business Building, Room 226 Telephone Contact: Leanna Diener 626-6066 Professors: Richard M. Alston, Wan Fu Chi, Dix Cloward, Dan Fuller; Associate Professors: John M. Mbaku, Clifford Nowell, Sarah E. Tinkler Description The department of economics offers two different degree programs. The career field selected will determine the educational goals a student must set and will be an important element in deciding which of the many avenues towards a bachelor's degree available in economics is best suited for you. The program leading to a Bachelor's Degree with a General Economics Major is described in this, the social and behavioral science section of the catalog. See the Business and Economics section of the catalog for a complete description of the program leading to a Bachelor's Degree with a Business Economics Major. Specific course descriptions for all courses taught by the economics faculty are contained in the Business and Economics section of the catalog. Economics provides general analysis of decision making where resource constraints are present. Within the social sciences, the field of economics is perhaps the most rigorous in terms of the use and application of mathematical and statistical reasoning. Students with a bachelors degree in General Economics are often employed in private business firms in the financial, retailing, and industrial sectors of the economy. General economics majors are also found in such diverse fields as actuarial science, elementary and secondary education, investment banking, securities analysis, corporate finance, law, politics, and environmental regulation, as well as government and academia. A degree in General Economics is also regarded by graduate schools as excellent preparation for advanced work toward a degree in law as well as a Ph.D. in a number of social science fields such as economics, international relations, and political science. Students seeking an MBA or an advanced degree in business economics, finance, and international business should also investigate the Business Economics Major described in the Business and Economics section of the catalog.
