College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA) - Department of Economics
Bachelor degree majoring in Economics
A major in Economics leads to a more detailed understanding of the modern economic world and provides a useful background for students seeking careers in law, business, government, journalism, and teaching. A strong grounding in both theoretical and applied aspects of economics allows students to use their knowledge to understand economic behavior and provides a basis for evaluating economic policy.
The introductory courses (ECON 101 and 102) offered by the department are designed to provide basic knowledge as well as to serve as a foundation for other courses in economics for students who wish to pursue the subject at an intermediate or advanced level.
Virtually all empirical work in economics relies on statistical and econometric analysis. No one can understand or evaluate empirical economics, let alone perform it, without solid grounding in the tools of econometrics. Our curriculum requires a two-course sequence in statistics andeconometrics. Student may choose from three different sequences that differ in emphasis (practical, applications, concepts, or foundations) and in mathematical preparation (Calc I, Calc II, or Calc II + linear algebra).
Students who wish to attain professional competence as economists in preparation for careers in research or in college or university teaching normally plan on graduate work in economics.

2. University of California, Davis
Bachelor degree majoring in Economics
The study of economics is the study of choices. How should a society choose to allocate and distribute its resources? Which needs should have the highest priority, and which are less important? Economists study how people use their limited resources in an attempt to satisfy their unlimited wants. They create scientific models to explain why people behave the way they do, and use these models along with observations of the world to analyze and explain why things happen the way they do. Based on this knowledge, they propose solutions to problems that may at first seem surprising, but that prove to work well in practice. Economists work in all areas of government and industry, in positions ranging from stock market analysis to sports marketing and banking regulation.
Real World Outcomes:
Economics majors are well prepared to succeed in careers requiring both knowledge of financial concepts and keen analytical abilities. Graduates are working in all areas of business and government, including investment firms, congressional advisory committees, government regulatory agencies and business journalism.
Requirements:
You will begin with a series of foundation courses in micro- and macroeconomics, statistics, and mathematics. At the upper division level, you will take two courses in economic theory, one course in either American or European economic history, and data analysis. You may then select from courses in areas of particular interest to you. These elective courses range from games theory to financial institutions and international economic development. In rounding out their study of economics, students may complete an internship for credit, take some of their courses overseas through the study abroad program or complete an in-depth economics research project through the honors program.

3. University of California Irvine, The Paul Merage School of Business
Bachelor
of Arts in Business Administration
Students are required to complete 10 business courses that provide a foundation
in essential core business competencies, followed by a minimum of 10 business
electives selected from emphases. Students select a minimum of one of seven
emphases in Accounting, Finance, Health Care Management, Information Systems,
Marketing, Operations and Decision Technologies, and Organization and
Management. This program of study enables students to develop areas of focus as
they pursue the Business Administration major. Because much business is
conducted on a global scale, students are required to either participate in the
University's Education Abroad Program or to take one of a number of designated courses
that stresses the international dimension of a business area.
While academic course content is crucial to an undergraduate business major,
auxiliary noncurricular programs also are important to students' academic
experience. The Merage School incorporates a co-curricular element into the
classroom experience. Drawing from Merage School and University resources,
students are exposed to opportunities to enhance communication and
presentations skills, attend formal speaker events, and engage in informal
mentoring. The Merage School faculty is committed to ensuring that
undergraduate majors have ample opportunity to enhance their writing and
presentation skills through class assignments and a business communication
elective. In addition, students can participate in a business writing program,
where they can work with a writing consultant to further improve their writing
skills.
Students are strongly encouraged to become involved with the clubs that
comprise the Merage Undergraduate Student Association (MUSA). MUSA consists of
several student organizations. These high-profile student groups promote
interaction between students and the surrounding business community through
their Corporate Speaker Series, social activities, and student/employer
receptions. Students with an entrepreneurial interest are invited to
participate in the annual business plan competition.
Work experience is an important way to learn about business and management. UC
Irvine's Internship Program, sponsored by the Career Center, can assist
students in finding opportunities to work in either voluntary or paid positions
in business, nonprofit, or industrial settings. Students who plan to enter
business or apply to a graduate school of business or management in the future
will find it necessary to supplement their academic work with a variety of
practical experiences.
Another opportunity is UC Irvine's Undergraduate Administrative Intern Program,
which offers selected students the opportunity to assume one-year positions
under the guidance of University administrators. Students can choose from a
range of offices in which they will be asked to undertake special projects
specifically related to the management and administration of UC Irvine and
higher education in general. These internships are supplemented by a
two-quarter management seminar and by field trips to administrative conferences
such as meetings of The Regents of the University of California.

4. Harvard College, Economics Department
Bachelor degree majoring in Economics
The
Economics Department has roughly 200-250 concentrators per class. One appeal of
the department is that it can accommodate students with a wide range of
interests: Economics is a way of thinking, and students can apply this way of thinking
to nearly any aspect of the world (see Section V for a discussion of various
subfields of economics).
The Economics Department requires all students to take courses in introductory
and intermediate economic theory in order to have a strong grasp on fundamental
economic principles. These key principles rely on mathematical models; thus,
all concentrators are required to have a basic preparation in calculus. The
Department also requires concentrators to gain the necessary statistical skills
to use data from the real world to test economic theories. Putting all of these
skills together, the Department’s required Sophomore Tutorial helps students
apply their knowledge of economic theory, mathematics, and statistics in a
course on learning how to read and understand
economics research and how to carry out research of their own. The remainder of
the course requirements for an undergraduate degree in economics serve to
expose students to various applications of economics tools and theories.
Concentrators also have the option to pursue honors in economics, either with
or without a thesis. The additional requirements for honors and other details
are discussed in Sections III (on concentration requirements) and VI (on the
honors program). Students considering graduate school in economics should take
more mathematics (see Section VII on graduate study).
In recent years, about 85 percent of Economics concentrators have sought work immediately after graduation. Economics concentrators go to work in business, government, social service, teaching, charitable work, and other occupations in proportions not that different from the average Harvard graduate. A somewhat higher percentage of Economics concentrators go to work in finance and consulting.

Economics Faculty
Bachelor degree majoring in economics
The Economics Faculty is equally committed to graduate and undergraduate education. Senior professors teach introductory undergraduate courses, and faculty at all levels incorporate the latest economic methods and findings into their electives. The Department’s success in attracting exceptional undergraduates and preparing them for advanced study demonstrates the soundness of this philosophy and the excellence of the program.
The undergraduate major in economics begins with a two-semester introductory sequence that explores theoretical and applied topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics. Additional training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics follows. Majors have a choice of additional applied and advanced courses drawn from a menu that includes economic development, economic theory, health economics, industrial organization, international economics, labor economics, monetary economics, public economics, and other courses. The level of mathematics mastery among undergraduates allows economics courses to be taught at a high level.
The Undergraduate Economics Association (UEA) provides an informal forum
for students to meet and explore various topics with faculty. Sponsored by the
faculty, the UEA is run by and for economics majors to address such issues as
career planning and current topics in economic policy. Students and faculty
also enjoy the relaxed interactions that the UEA provides.
Undergraduate economics majors go on to graduate work and to distinguished
careers in academia, global businesses, government, finance, consulting, and
law. About 20 percent of MIT economics undergraduates enter a graduate program
in economics or finance. This is among the highest yield of PhD candidates for
an undergraduate economics program. Approximately half of the
Department’s graduates choose to gain experience in business, government,
consulting, and non-profit organizations before seeking out business and public
policy schools for post-graduate study. The number of post-graduates choosing
to study law remains fairly constant. Growing use of formal economics in law
has strengthened this connection. (http://economics.mit.edu/under)

13. Boston College
Carroll School of Management
Founded as the College of Business Administration at Boston College in 1938,
and later named the Carroll School of Management, in honor of a distinguished
alumnus, the school identifies its mission in these terms:
The Carroll School of Management educates undergraduates preparing for careers
in management, graduate students aspiring to greater responsibilities in a
complex global economy, and practitioners and executives seeking renewed vision
and new skills for that economy. Vigorous teaching, learning, and research that
advance business theory and enhance management practice are crucial means to
these ends. Our current efforts are a partnership of students, faculty, staff,
the business community, and the broader academic community. We seek and value
the support and counsel of our alumni and the wider business community. We
aspire to be an effective and caring organization for our immediate community,
and we strive to orchestrate all our efforts for the service of the many
communities—local, national, and global—that sustain us.
The undergraduate curriculum, which combines a broad liberal arts background
with specialized training in a management discipline, prepares students for
leadership roles in business and society. The Carroll School of Management
provides future managers with a knowledge of the methods and processes of
professional management and an understanding of the complex and evolving social
system within which they will apply this knowledge.

Department of Economics
Undergraduate
Program
The Department of Economics prepares students to understand individual and
group decision making, the structure of markets and economies, and the
relationship between regions within the global economy. The faculty at New York
University is particularly strong in Economic Theory, Macroeconomics,
International Economics, and Economic Growth and Development. Although
Economics is a large Department, its students enjoy an excellent
student-faculty rapport. Many of the faculty members are associated with
distinguished research institutions. By being able to study with faculty who
are actively engaged in research, students learn not only about the
fundamentals of economic theory but also about how such theory is utilized.
They have the opportunity to conduct research on their own. Honors students are
required to write a research paper as an Honors Thesis under direct faculty
supervision.

A first degree in Economics not only prepares you for a career as an economist in government or central bank, financial services, research or consulting. As Economics at LSE addresses the world's toughest problems, our graduates also find satisfaction in a wide variety of satisfying and important roles, ranging from international development to management. A significant number go on to graduate work.

Features
of LSE courses
Our programme is widely regarded as being at the forefront of international
teaching in the field. Our aim is to give you an understanding of finance that
will be useful throughout your career. This means that, unlike professional
courses, we teach both finance techniques and the intuition behind them to
enable our students to critically evaluate their suitability and usefulness in
different contexts. We will encourage you to adopt a critical and flexible
viewpoint and to analyse the subject from a variety of perspectives, including
the international dimension.
Our finance faculty is one of the largest in Europe and includes
internationally acknowledged leaders in academic research in all of the major
subfields of finance.

The first year of the degree will give an essential foundation in the subject,
equipping students with the necessary quantitative skills. Every student will
take finance, accounting, economics, mathematics and statistics courses, plus
the innovative LSE100.
The second year concentrates on building a firm grasp of core analytical methods in finance and financial economics and applying them to a range of problems, while the third year allows for students to gain rigorous depth in a range of finance subfields.
