The Flexibility of Mixing Liberal Arts with Finance
Are you interested in a career that draws on your technical and creative talents, where you can do well financially and have a variety of professional options? With an Economics degree from St. Francis College, you can accomplish exactly that.
Economics is the study of how the resources of society are organized to produce goods and services, and how these goods and services are distributed around the world. An understanding of finance is crucial. Our students learn how to incorporate significant features of the "real world" into the basic "models" of how an economy works. The department is particularly strong in its coverage of international economic relations.
Economics is one of the fastest growing majors in the country. That’s partly because a degree in Economics is flexible and allows students to pursue a variety of career options. And because they have an ideal combination of technical skills and the ability to convert technical arguments into something more easily understood, Economics majors tend to do very well professionally and financially. Most Economics majors pursue careers in business, but many are also successful in law, medicine, government, non-profits, and international relations, as well as in academic roles.
Economics majors at St. Francis College enjoy the flexibility of a broad liberal arts education, as well as opportunities for more specialized training in finance, international economics, or public policy. Our students can choose from three concentrations within the Economics major; Finance, International Economics and Public Policy.
Many of our graduates also go on to pursue graduate studies in economics as well as business, law, and public administration.
