Economics

17 courses (BPhil or BSGS)

Economists study how individuals, families, companies and nations confront difficult choices about how to use limited resources to meet various needs and wants. Evaluating these choices in terms of criteria such as efficiency, equity and stability, economists search for alternative forms of economic organization that might produce a desirable distribution of material well-being. The program in economics enables students to understand the basic concepts, theories and techniques of economics. Students become familiar with the way economists think about problems and devise solutions to them. This program provides excellent preparation for graduate study, law school or a career in business or government.
