BA Financial Economics

Economics is a social science because it seeks to measure, explain and predict ways in which people behave. Its approach to problem solving is typically deductive and it is frequently quantitative, but the underlying agenda is the improvement of the human condition through the selection of appropriate public policy. From the introductory courses, which acquaint students with the fundamentals of the economic way of thinking through the intermediate theory, topics and methods courses, to the capstone senior seminar, we stress this importance of analysis in the service of society.
