The Department of Economics and Business offers three majors: Economics, Business, and Economics and Business. There are two tracks within the Business major: General Business and International Business .

Economics and business  are closely related social sciences that share a common theoretical base and similar methodology and analytical tools. They differ primarily perspective and focus.

The study of economics examines the method and techniques of economic analysis, the important economic institutions in our economy, and the policies designed to correct economic problems. The study of business provides both applied knowledge of the functional areas of the business firm′s operations, and a broader social and historical perspective.

Courses help students understand the nature of accomplishments and problems of economic systems, in theory and in practice. Topics include the operation of businesses, monetary and financial institutions, tax laws, the government′s role in the economy, economic development of the developing countries, and international trade and finance. For non-majors, courses which have a minimum of prerequisites are offered in both economics and business.

Our graduates often pursue careers in accounting, advertising, banking, human resource management, industrial engineering, finance, management consulting, marketing and sales. Others pursue graduate study in business, economics, law, or international business.
