COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Economy and Markets major provides a broad pluralist perspective on fundamental aspects of relationships between individuals, firms, institutions and countries.
Students will learn how economies function and how public policy and the way organisations behave affect diverse social, economic and environmental problems.
Students are introduced to a wide array of competing economic theories, so that they are critically informed about the ways in which they can transform the world.
A major in this area prepares students to be active participants in addressing the wide range of problems faced by governments, social organisations and the business community in the domestic and international economies.
Students who study economics can expect to develop their analytical and problem solving skills and to be intellectually challenged, whether they view the discipline as providing specific vocational skills or as an area of academic and intellectual interest to them.
