Bachelor of Arts - Economics

The economics curriculum at Simon's Rock is rooted in the liberal arts tradition of rigorous analysis, thus developing students' reading, discussion, and problem-solving skills within the discipline.

The economy comprises the systems for the production and exchange of goods, services, money and financial assets; the use of labor, capital, and natural resources; and the relation of these to other societal and historical processes.

This Economics concentration at Simon’s Rock serves students interested in pursuing further study or work in business, finance, economics, and public policy, as well as those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of forces at work in the contemporary world. It provides a framework for the broader critical study of society, with a particular focus on the nature and history of the political and economic institutions that shape social existence.
