BA ECONOMICS

We live in a world where data seems to be limitless. Everything we do, the decisions we make, the places we visit, the purchases we make (and those we don t), are likely part of a massive data set. However, those who are trained to extract useful information from the data are not numerous. The economics coursework at Saint Joseph's University is not just intended for you to learn the way economists view the world, but also to understand how to use their techniques for analyzing problems using real-world data. The economics department strives to produce graduates who will intelligently participate in public and private decision-making in which economic considerations are involved.
