Economics is an important framework for analyzing decision-making behavior – on both the individual level (micro) and the societal level (macro). It describes the principles underlying individual transactions and the broader markets they fuel. A solid understanding of economics is valuable not just as a foundation for your career, but in your day-to-day life as an engaged voter and an informed consumer..
As an economics student at Oglethorpe, you’ll learn how to…
Develop analytical tools for complex problem-solving.
Master the technical terminology of the business world.
Hone your skills in business writing and communication.
And that’s not all: Oglethorpe’s emphasis on the liberal arts (conveyed through the Core) means every student learns to be a better writer and a better thinker, with a deeper understanding of the world around them.
The economics curriculum at Oglethorpe is designed to be accessible and broad, highlighting interdisciplinary connections with other fields, through electives in topics such as antitrust law, environmental policy, and economic development.
