Economics
Economics concerns the wealth of
nations. Economics is the study of how a society organizes its
productive resources, including human resources, in attempting
to reach the various goals of its members. The subject may be
divided into study of the use of resources at any one time, the
balancing of current and future goals, and the distribution of
income among persons. Economics seeks to discern both the
common features and the differences in the institutions by
which societies throughout the world, today and in the past,
have organized economic life. The approach is descriptive and
analytical; many issues of national and international policy
are considered.
The mission of the Economics
department is to acquaint students with the economic aspects of
modern society, to familiarize students with techniques for the
analysis of contemporary economic problems, and to develop in
students an ability to exercise judgement in evaluating public
policy.
Undergraduate economics is a liberal
arts subject and provides good preparation for careers in law,
education, business, and government.
