An economics major offers many professional opportunities in business, banking, securities, and government. Economic analysis is regularly applied to many different real-world issues. One is not limited with an economics major. The analytical training emphasized is also valuable as preparation for graduate study in business, law, and many other disciplines.
Economics provides the basic understanding of much of the business world. Typical employment after graduation is in insurance, securities, and banking industries.
Other areas of employment where analytic skills are a priority are also common employment opportunities. Math, as a second field, is necessary for a graduate degree in economics and highly recommended for graduate study in finance. For those planning to attend law school, economics is one of the most useful majors. See an economics or finance faculty member for more information.
