UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS, MINORS, AND ASSOCIATED AREAS OF STUDY
SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES QUANTITATIVE ECONOMICS Economics is concerned with the way individuals or societies allocate scarce resources and distribute goods and services. Any situation requiring choice among competing alternatives can be viewed as an economic problem. Economic courses enable students to study the way individuals make these choices (microeconomics), the way governments make these choices (public choice), and the aggregate consequences of these choices (macroeconomics). In addition, the Economics curriculum addresses international trade, money and banking, and economic development of the less developed nations. The Department strongly urges students to consider the major in Quantitative Economics, which best prepares them for careers in business and finance, for law school, for M.B.A. programs, and for graduate studies in the social sciences. - From the 2007-2008 UCI General Catalogue |
