Majors
The majors in economics and economics-accounting are part of the academic program of the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance. The economics curriculum is designed to serve a variety of student educational objectives. Emphasis is placed on understanding economic behavior and institutions and the development of specific analytical skills. An economics major is especially appropriate for students interested in careers within business, accounting, law, government, or teaching.
Students majoring in economics take a combination of courses suited to their particular interests. Major requirements are flexible and, with department approval, can be modified to fit the program interests of individual students. Liberal provisions are made for the individual student, either as a major or as a non-major, to choose electives from an extensive list of special interest courses.
The purpose of the program in economics-accounting is to offer students an opportunity to learn accounting as the language of business within a liberal arts setting. Emphasis is on developing the analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills of individual students. Students are encouraged to combine study in economics-accounting with other areas of study for a dual or double major.
