The course of study for the Bachelor of Science in Economic Sciences is sufficiently broad to accommodate students with a variety of interests and career goals. It provides training for students interested in business, law, finance, agricultural markets, environmental policy and natural resources, and economic development. The program also gives students the preparation needed for graduate study in business, law, agricultural economics, finance, and general economics. The program provides students the flexibility to choose courses outside the School of Economic Sciences while still meeting degree requirements and allows students to pursue double majors in such fields as business, math, or political science. The degree requires a set of core courses taken by all School of Economic Sciences undergraduate students. These courses develop a deep understanding of the basic principles of economics and the research methods needed for economic analysis in any field of economic sciences. Students then branch out to further apply the core tools in one of seven option areas: The agricultural economics option deals with economic issues related to food and fiber supply and demand and the natural resource base that supports agricultural production and societal needs. Applications to public decision making and private decisions of farms, ranches, and agribusinesses are considered. The business economics option trains students to use economic concepts and data analysis skills to better understand the management, marketing, and finance problems faced by businesses operating in a market system. The international economics and development option provides students an understanding of how policies, institutions and endowments influence physical, human, and natural capital accumulation which leads to the emergence of poor and rich communities and countries. The economics, policy and law option provides students with the analytical skills used in law school and policy-making including those relevant in tax, law, regulation, program, policy and project arenas. The environmental and resource economics option trains students to make decisions while carefully weighing the trade-offs between protecting, restoring, developing, and allocating natural resources. The financial markets option provides students with a solid, analytical training in the substantial overlap between economics and finance. The option requires coursework that focuses on the analysis of financial markets. The quantitative economics option provides students with the skills to understand and use more advanced statistical and mathematical models, preparing them for careers involving data analysis or for advanced education -- such as a PhD in economics or related field. The undergraduate program provides the basic knowledge and tools necessary to secure professional positions in a wide range of industries and public organizations. A number of students take graduate work to broaden their career opportunities. School of Economics Sciences graduates compete favorably for jobs in government, business, and non-governmental organizations, using their strong analytical skills to offer a different perspective for problem-solving and decision-making. Recent graduates have been employed in finance, banking, agribusiness, industry, internet-based companies, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and at universities. Many are working in foreign countries.
