专业概况
在这里学什么？Our economics degree program teaches students to apply deductive reasoning to analyze, question, and explain how humans interact with each other in a dynamic world. Economics majors use this foundation of theoretical models and empirical knowledge to gain a greater understanding of a wide variety of topics.
Economics Degree
The economics major teaches students about economic theory and the backbone of "the economic way of thinking." Once students have an understanding of the theory, they apply techniques to systematically assess private and social decisions. In addition to sharpening analytical skills, students refine their writing, research, and oral presentation skills.
What is Economics?
A good working definition of economics is the study of individuals and societies allocating scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Economists do not attempt to establish society's goals, but rather examine the consequences of trying to achieve them. The goal of economists is similar to those of the social scientists explaining how humans interact with each other in a dynamic world. However, the major distinction between economics and the other social sciences is the economics approach usually emphasizes deductive reasoning.
This foundation of theoretical models and empirical knowledge is used to gain a greater understanding of a wide variety of topics. In fact, this economic way of thinking also gives students the analytical training and tools to grapple with many issues generally considered to lie outside the confines of economics, such as those usually studied in law, sociology, political science, history and philosophy. Economics is a problem-based social science that deals with some of the most serious issues confronting society (e.g., deficits, poverty, inflation, unemployment, economic growth, energy, pollution, military spending, etc.) as well as individual problems (e.g., wages, cost of living, taxes, voting, etc.).
The discipline of economics draws upon the traditional liberal arts, such as history and philosophy; natural sciences, such as mathematics and physics; and social sciences, such as political science, sociology, and psychology. The interdisciplinary nature of economics lies at the heart of an institution that stresses the liberal arts. In the last few years, economics programs have seen enrollments grow steadily. The economics major is now almost two percent of the national total. The popular attraction may be due to the flexibility the major offers in career options or it might be the perception that majoring in economics will improve a graduate's job prospects.
Career Opportunities
Since the major stresses methodology and problem-solving techniques rather than rote memorization, job recruiters are especially attracted to economics graduates. The broad analytical training received by undergraduate economics majors is desired by many large corporations.
Individuals with training in economics have become problem solvers. They have learned how to identify particular problems and provide alternative solutions. Economics majors have also learned specific skills that will enhance their performance in managerial decision making; for example: demand theory and estimation, production, and cost theory, analysis of market structure, antitrust policy, government regulation of business, capital budgeting, inflation, unemployment, determination of interest rates, and international economics.
Economics Program Learning Outcomes
A student who graduates with a major in Economics should be able to:
Relate the core intuitions of Economics to economic and social phenomena, in order to produce sound economic analysis. Collect and analyze empirical data to distinguish trends and test economic theories.
