Goddard School of Business & Economics section of the catalog and 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 Bachelor's Degree with a General Economics Major is described in this, the Social Science section of the catalog. See the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics section of the catalog for a complete description of the programs leading to a Bachelor's Degree with a Business Economics Major. 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 economics are generally prepared to take entry level jobs in any area of business, but are particularly prepared for jobs that call for data analysis, pricing, purchasing, and report writing. Economists are often employed in private business firms in the financial, retailing, and industrial sectors. A complete career guide is available from the department chairperson. A degree in General Economics is also regarded by graduate business schools as excellent preparation for advanced work toward an MBA, as well as advanced degrees in other business related disciplines such as human resource management, public administration, finance, and international business. Students seeking an advanced degree in economics, law, other social and behavioral sciences, urban and regional planning, actuarial science, etc., should also investigate the Business Economics Major described in the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics section of the catalog.
