Economics at Ozarks

Major

The curriculum of the economics major is designed to enable the student to contribute to a more abundant life, both for oneself and the community; and to promote perspective and balanced judgment in analyzing and interpreting current economic problems by studying the development of economic movements and theories.  The principles underlying contemporary economic organizations, the problems of labor, and the problems of the consumer are considered.

Students intending to pursue graduate work in economics will find a background in mathematics helpful, and are encouraged to complete Calculus I as an Area III distribution requirement. Aside from courses listed in the business core, a course may not be used to satisfy the requirement of two different majors within the Business Enterprise program. Overlapping courses found in the concentration areas must be substituted with other courses as approved by the student’s advisor and the division chair.  Internship/Practicum credit does not count toward satisfying major/minor requirements.
