Successful Graduates

Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is not the only thing one can do with an economics major. Economics deals with the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services, and touches complex domestic and international policy problems. Students with an economics major are prepared for a variety of fields, including graduate study in economics, urban planning, public policy, or other related fields. In the private sector, economics majors are prepared for careers in the stock market, banking, economic forecasting, government activity, work for non-profit agencies, economic consulting, providing expert testimony for attorneys, and a wide variety of career options.
