- The Economics major includes three required courses (9 credits) and five electives (15 credits). Economics majors should plan on taking all three required courses, especially ECO 4000, as early in their major program as possible. When registering, students should keep in mind that these courses are not given every semester and should plan their courses accordingly, particularly when the course is a prerequisite for further courses in the field.
- In addition to the required courses, an economics major must take a meaningful combination of five economics, finance, or insurance courses at the 3000-level or higher as electives. Of these five courses, at least two must be economics courses at the 4000-level or higher.
The following subjects are considered liberal arts and can be taken at any level to satisfy liberal arts electives:
| AAS | ANT | ART | BIO | BLS | CHM | COM |
| CMP | ECO | ENG | ENV | FLM | FPA | GLS |
| HED | HIS | HSP | IDC | JRN | LACS | LIB |
| LTS | MSC | MTH | NMA | PHI | PHY | POL |
| PSY | REL | SOC | THE | WSM | ALL MODERN LANGUAGES |

The economics major provides a framework for analyzing issues such as inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Theory, policy, and trends are covered while exploring ways to deal with the economic problems that confront individuals, businesses, and nations.
