Why Economics?

Hannah - Why Econ?

The Department of Economics shares with other departments a commitment to the Mission and Aims of Brigham Young University. It has been our goal to purposefully design a curriculum that will provide our majors with one of the best undergraduate economics programs in the country.

A careful study of economics facilitates effective decision making and enhances our students' understanding, participation in, and contribution to the world in which they live in areas such as:

Economic growth
Levels of employment
Inflation
International trade
Globalization
Taxation
Finance
Consequences of alternative economic policies
Costs and benefit analysis of alternative proposals
