Major in Economics
Explore the use, distribution, and importance of resources, goods, and services in society.
As a major in economics at Santa Clara University, you’ll learn how the choices we make as individuals combine to determine how society uses its scarce resources to produce and distribute goods and services. This practical discipline provides insights into such important issues as the determinants of wealth and poverty in the global economy; the causes of unemployment, inflation, and economic growth; and the evaluation of alternative economic and social policies. You will also learn powerful analytical tools with many applications in business, law, and other careers.
