Economics
Information on the Economics Program:
Economics classes at UCM are taught by dynamic, experienced and nationally recognized faculty members who provide personalized attention for each student. These faculty members bring diverse training and work experiences to the classroom and are actively engaged in economic research. This research, which ranges from environmental aid to valuation of sports teams to investigations of statistical methodologies, along with extensive involvement in professional organizations, place the faculty at the forefront of their respective fields.
There are two degree programs in Economics offered through the Department of Economics and Finance. Both degree programs require a minor area of study or a second major.
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is designed with an emphasis on analytical economics. Thus, this program of study has a greater coverage of econometrics and statistics as well as business orientation. Students interested in pursuing careers in forecasting, economic development, managerial economics or business economics should choose the B.S. degree. Further, students interested in graduate-level study in economics or quantitative analysis should consider this degree program.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree includes emphasis on competency in foreign language. The open nature of this degree program is designed to allow the student flexibility in choice of economics electives. Students with a general interest in economics or those planning to obtain a law degree should consider the B.A. degree program.
