About Bachelor of Science - Economics
Economics is the study of markets: how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. Economists examine how people and businesses make decisions to allocate scarce resources. In economics, people study questions as diverse as the causes of labor market discrimination, how to improve education for women and girls, why recessions occur, and business profitability. Studying economics at St. Kate's will challenge students to think critically and apply a rigorous empirical lens to a wide range of issues. Students will develop and refine their analytical abilities to interpret or produce business insights, policy briefs, or scholarly research.
Outside of the classroom, the department works to provide all students with opportunities to enhance their St. Kate’s experience and increase the value they bring to organizations following graduation. Students can attend events hosted by the Minnesota Center for Diversity in Economics, such as “Socialism vs. Capitalism” or “The Economics of Immigration.” Economics Club is an outlet for students to engage with other passionate peers and local events. Moreover, economics majors can gain practical experience through a capstone research project or an internship.
In recent years, our department has had many student-faculty research collaborations on issues ranging from development in the Middle East and North Africa to local education policy. Students have presented their work at national conferences such as the Population Association of America (PAA) conference and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). Internship opportunities in the Twin Cities area provide students with applied experiences at large and small organizations, including Aeon, Wells Fargo, 3M, American Red Cross, Ramsey County, National Housing Resource Center, Sun Country, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
