Economics and Business

Course Offerings

The department welcomes students from all majors and nearly all of the department's elective courses are open to any student who has completed the introductory Principles of Economics (150 or 151 and 152) and Principles of Financial Accounting (160) courses.

 

The department regularly offers courses in international economics, environmental and natural resource economics, labor and sports economics, public finance, economic development and comparative economic systems. For those students who wish to focus on business, the department offers many elective business courses including Intermediate and Managerial Accounting, Legal Environment of Business, Theory of Business Finance, Investments, Entrepreneurship, Business and Society, and Business Policy and Strategy. Perspectives on Business in a Changing World - an ongoing program of guest speakers, executives-in-residence, and special programs - richly complements the department's business courses.
