The Economics program is designed for students who want a foundation in markets, money, and economic policy. It is intended for business owners, bankers, and policy-minded students who want to understand why the till rings — or doesn't.
The program combines a progressive economics sequence with political science or psychology and computer programming, building quantitative habits alongside economic reasoning. Coursework moves from household and small-business scale up to policy and markets.
Together, these requirements are intended to prepare students for business, banking, and analytical roles, and continued study in economics or public policy.
