The impact of different types of government policies are analyzed in a broad context. The Economics concentration provides strong analytical skills that facilitate higher level critical thinking.
Our faculty are committed to providing students with opportunities for hands-on learning and collaborative, team-oriented projects. Business students apply a wide-range of technical skills, including projects that develop their information research capability. Acquisition, analysis, and presentation of all types of data are skills emphasized in our program. Business majors can participate in student club activities, in community internships, and other special events that provide professional and practical opportunities.
