Bachelor of Science - Economics

Program Description

Economics majors at Northwest develop analytical, critical thinking, and decision-making skills in preparation for evaluating the decisions made by businesses, consumers, and government. The goal of this degree is to assess information and decisions in order to understand the structure, operation, and investigation of decisions.

In addition to small class sizes, Northwest students receive instruction from faculty who have received the Dean’s Award for Exemplary Teaching and the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. Classes are small and upper-level courses have an average of fewer than 10 students.
