Economics & Finance

Economics and Finance provide a bridge between the liberal arts and business programs by offering fundamental survey courses to satisfy the degree requirements of both social science and business students. Courses provide an understanding of the origins, characteristics, and functions of economic and financial systems. The courses will enable students to develop critical thinking skills while studying the structure and dynamics of the U.S. and global economies.

Students wishing to pursue study at the Baccalaureate level in economics or finance should consult an advisor. Our full time faculty members can serve as advisors in this area.
