Economics

Economics helps you understand the patterns and principles that affect our economy. You need an education that lets you think outside the box as you work to predict and solve problems faced by businesses and the government.

Economics is a versatile major that encompasses aspects of business, math, political science, law, and philosophy. You’ll develop analytical and quantitative skills as you being exploring the forces of international markets, banking, human resources, and urban growth.

The foundation of economics at Heidelberg is a professional core focused on micro and macroeconomics as well as a capstone experience that allows you to complete a detailed investigation of a significant economic issue.
