BS in Financial Economics

A major in economics is excellent preparation for employment in business or government, including business management and public administration, or for graduate study in economics or law. Economics draws on history, philosophy and mathematics to confront topics ranging from how households or businesses can make solid decisions to societal issues such as unemployment, inflation, crime and environmental decay. Financial economics focuses on financial markets and topics ranging from financing of corporations and government, to the pricing of financial assets such as bonds, stocks, derivative securities and real estate assets.
