B.A Economics

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of California Merced

Program Overview

Economists study how scarce resources are allocated so that the well-being of individuals is maximized. Whether the resource being allocated is income, time or a precious commodity, there is always some tradeoff associated with allocating the resource for one use and not another. Individuals, businesses, and governments face these tradeoffs in countless ways every day. The most important thing students learn from studying economics is how to identify, measure and understand the essential elements of this tradeoff.
