What is Economics? Economists study choices and therefore help explain how individuals, businesses, governments, and other entities make decisions. More broadly, economists study the performance of markets in allocating resources and the interactions among public policies and markets.
Why major in Economics? Economics teaches valuable analytical and problem-solving skills. These skills will make you an attractive candidate for graduate study and for employment in a variety of fields as well as prepare you for a professional degree such as law or business school.
