Why an Economics Degree From Le Moyne?
Economics influences our consumer behavior – how much to spend on groceries or how long it will take to save for a vacation. It’s also key to understanding the world on a broader scale – business analytics, public policies and why people in some parts of the world have greater access to education, housing, employment and healthcare.
In an undergraduate economics program of study at Le Moyne, you’ll learn theories and research and apply them to solve real-world challenges. You’ll consider the economics of goods and services and the economic dimensions of poverty. You’ll look at the global food supply, climate change, and the conservation of natural resources. Your degree will sharpen your critical thinking skills, and you’ll graduate with the knowledge and tools to address society’s most pressing issues, fully prepared to change the world.
