Economics - SUNY College at Oneonta

Economics from SUNY College at Oneonta is a Campus Bachelor Economics degree that prepares you for a Business career. The Economics major, offered since 1963, emphasizes a firm understanding of economic theory, its historical development, and its application to the study of socio-political and economic problems. All advanced and most introductory courses are taught by Ph.D.-qualified faculty in economics with regional and national reputations in the economics profession. All majors complete the capstone Senior Seminar in Economics in residence. The mission of the Economics major is to introduce students to the methods of analysis used by economists to study the nature and performance of the social institutions which facilitate the allocation of scarce resources among society's members; provide students with the opportunity to use these methods in the analysis of issues in international economics, applied microeconomics, and applied macroeconomics; and to provide students in the capstone senior seminar in economics the opportunity to pursue an independent research project addressing a question of interest to the student. As part of the research project, each student will learn how to acquire and analyze information needed to answer the question. Finally, the economics major provides students with a set of analytical, writing and oral communication skills that will prepare them for postgraduate challenges in terms of employment, further education, and civic responsibilities. In support of the mission of the Economics major, our upper division classes are small and provide students with an opportunity to have interaction with individual faculty. Students in the senior seminar work on research projects under the direction of an individual faculty member. View more details on SUNY College at Oneonta .
