The Bachelor of Science program in Applied Economics is a comprehensive course of study that prepares students for careers in business, financial institutions, national, state, and local government, public and private research organizations and nonprofit organizations. Consistent with the mission of the College, the program trains students to be real-life problem solvers so that upon graduation they are ready to be employed in entry and junior level positions in business and industry, the public sector, and non-profit sector.
Graduates will have the skills and abilities to meet the diverse needs of regional, national, and international employers in both the private and public sectors, working in occupations such as entry level economist, quantitative analyst, business analyst, financial analyst, regional planner, manager, and research analyst. The program exposes students to a broad spectrum of economic concepts and applications, providing them with a strong background from which to pursue graduate study in economics and the social sciences, business and finance, law, public administration, journalism, and education.
The program culminates with a capstone course sequence of Economics Research and Reporting followed by Applied Economic Analysis/Senior Project. In the first course, students receive extensive instruction in the methods and techniques of economic research and report writing, including data and statistical analysis, and the generation and presentation of reports for the general public. Students, in Applied Economic Analysis/Senior Project are asked to undertake, complete, and present the results of an applied research project in their individual area of interest.
