| The essential difference
between economics and business economics is not in the economics
training the students receive but, rather, in the other degree
requirements. A student's interests and career goals should
dictate the choice of one major over the other and, thus,
one major cannot be considered superior to the other in any
way. In comparing the two majors, the economics major is somewhat
less structured and offers students a greater degree of choice
in designing their overall curriculum. Business economics
is more structured and provides excellent preparation for
students who prefer training in the various functional areas
of business such as finance, accounting, marketing, personnel,
and information systems, as well as solid grounding in economic
fundamentals. |
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES of Business Econimics Major
The three major objectives of the Economics and Business Economics
program are:
- To train and help our students develop the ability to
access and explain existing knowledge.
This means that our economic majors should be able to locate economic
data and understand the methods used to compile them. They should
be able to describe the current state of an economy, explain how
key economic concepts and theories are used, and to summarize
policy debates. Our graduates should also possess the ability
to locate published research on their topic of interest. They
should be able to identify from both academic journals and non-technical
publications the important economic concepts and relevant key
economic theories underlying the discussion.
- To have our students develop the ability to apply existing
knowledge to explore economic issues of interest.
This means that our economic majors should be able to conduct
an in-depth study of economic issues or events using relevant
background material, economic theories, and quantitative methods.
- To have our students graduate with the ability to draw
conclusions based on sound economic reasoning.
This means that our graduates should be able to use economic theory
and quantitative methods to answer questions, solve problems,
and draw conclusions about economic issues of interest.
