About Bachelor of Arts - Economics
Economics is the study of how the economy works, where it came from, the challenges it creates for social equality and social justice, and how individuals engage to modify and change economic relations.
Economics brings the strengths of a critical liberal arts education to the study of the economy. Students in the Economics program at St. Thomas University study different ways regions, large and small, manage their resources—whether those resources be financial, natural, goods, or services. Students in the program will investigate not only how the economy works, but where it came from, the challenges it creates for social equality and social justice, and how people engage to modify and change existing economic relations.
Students in economics develop strong critical thinking, analysis, creative problem solving, and research skills. They learn to navigate the ebb and flow nature of the economy and gain the capacity to make informed decisions related to wealth and resources. There is strong demand for highly numerate graduates throughout the global labor market, and the widely transferable skills developed by economics students means that careers in economics are wide ranging and diverse.
Students can prepare for a meaningful career from a variety of fields:
- Business and Entrepreneurship
- Non-Governmental Organizations
- Economic Development
- Corporate Management and Consulting
- Government
- Public Policy
- Law
