Economics

As an economist, you’ll analyze the factors that shape people’s choices of what to buy and sell—and how those choices impact education, healthcare, environmental protection and the global economy. 

While pursuing your economics degree, you’ll dive deep into macroeconomic trends like inflation and gross domestic product (GDP). You’ll also closely examine purchase decisions made within the marketplace by people and companies using the key principles of microeconomics through the lens of a Christian liberal arts education.

What can Christians bring to economics?  

Questions surrounding economic fairness and the role of the individual within a community has challenged Christians for a millennium. Economists who interlock their Biblical beliefs with a macro and micro understanding of national and global markets can serve as a bridge between two very different constituent groups. When in positions of leadership, the ethical and strategic planning of a Christian economist can have long-lasting, positive effects in their community, country and across the globe.
