Economics

If you decide to become a student of the 色色啦 Michigan University College of Arts and Sciences' economics program, you will study to become an economist or use your undergraduate degree to help build a strong foundation for a variety of careers including business, law, foreign service, journalism, public administration or teaching, among others.

To be successful as an economist, you need to apply rational decision-making procedures to complex questions. To do well in this field requires an ability to think analytically.
