Economics - Saint Joseph's University

Economics from Saint Joseph's University is a Campus Bachelor Economics degree that prepares you for a Business career. Did You Know That... Economics is a science with excellent tools for gaining answers to a plethora of interesting questions? Economics is seen as the ideal blend of intellectual prestige (it does offer a Nobel, after all) and practical training for a high-flying finance career? John Maynard Keynes's only regret in life was not having drunk more champagne? What do Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert), George Bush, Sandra Day-O'Connor, John Elway, Mick Jagger, and Arnold Schwartzenegger have in common? They all hold undergraduate degrees in economics! (Thanks to Tom DiBattista for this information.) Objectives Introductory courses give students an appreciation of the way economists view the world and some acquaintance with the economist's techniques for analyzing problems. This department strives to produce persons who will be informed, valuable participants in the public and private decision-making. The Department offers a sufficient range of upper division courses so that students might select a set that matches individual interests and provides an appropriate preparation for individual careers. Upper level courses are small, generally composed of 10-15 students. The major offers much flexibility in course selection, which leaves the student with opportunities to pursue other, perhaps related, interests in other departments. Many majors minor in other fields, with Math and Politics being among the most popular. Majors are required to take, in addition to the Introductory courses, ECN 2011, either ECN 2101 or ECN 2111, and any six other upper division economics courses.
